As an emergency room technician, one is expected to offer support and assistance to the registered nurses and physicians to ensure that the facility offers high quality care to the patients. Emergency room technicians assist emergency room nurses and physicians with clerical and other basic clinical tasks. The scope of work that an emergency room technician can competently handle, varies from one emergency room to another even though they are all given the same training in school. So, what is the job description of an emergency room technician? Today, we want to take a look at what emergency room technicians do and why they are very important in the smooth running of emergency rooms. This is why some of the duties in the Emergency room are delegated to the technicians. Without technicians, the workload would be too much for the physicians and they would have really limited time to deal with the more serious complications that patients come reporting. Some are front office assistants while others are technicians who help the physician with treating the patients that come into the ER.
