Abstract
This study investigated hospital EMT' scope of work perceived by emergency medical service providers by surveying 122 emergency medical service providers working at university hospitals in Daejeon and Chung-nam in order to provide basic materials for improving EMT' roles and legal regulations related to their works and enhancing the quality of emergency medical services. According to the results of this study was $3.23{\pm}0.67$ for the 40 items surveyed, which was somewhat higher than average. By area, job awareness was highest for trauma care, which was followed by hospital phase and breathing assistance, and lowest for medication. In order for emergency medical service providers to recognize hospital EMT' works, first of all, EMT need to carry out their jobs and roles faithfully. Therefore, educational institutions should provide substantial education programs. What is more, legally clear definitions should be made on the job of EMT, and campaigns and monitoring should be made continuously for EMT.
