Summary Title

Good Samaritan Law: Emergency Medical Care Provider

Summary

An emergency medical care provider, who, in good faith, provides emergency care at the scene of an emergency while en route to work, will not be professionally disciplined if they provide their employer with written verification of a local official in charge of managing the emergency scene. Generally, Good Samaritan laws only offer protection for those individuals who provide care during spontaneous emergencies unrelated to volunteer deployment.
