It stands for emergency medical technician -- basic.  The 'basic' emt course that allows a person to both drive an ambulance and provide a certain level of medical care for people in a medical crisis.  For general career info:  http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'emergency medical technicians', 'physicians' or such.
