Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The purpose of our study was to introduce an oath and ethics code for emergency medical technicians (EMTs).
Methods: The proposed oath and ethics code for the EMTs was evaluated using a modified Delphi technique. This oath and ethics code was presented at Korean association of emergency medical technician conference and was revised by experts in emergency medical services.
Results: We examined the ethics codes for other allied healthcare professionals regarding the topics of human rights, health promotion, acting as an advocate, ethics, cooperation, observance, human rights, right to know, self-determination, confidentiality, and professionalism. These elements are reflected in our proposed oath and ethics code for EMTs.
Conclusion: The proposed oath and ethics code would raise the professional status of EMTs.
