In NY an EMT can cover the infirmary in place of an RN.  The camp will still have a physician that works as a consultant, may only come by one a day, or an agreement with the local hospitals.  They may not administer any medications except epi-pen, but may assist/issue a childs medecines that are stored in the infirmary. Many camps use EMT's, or a combiination of RN?EMT's depending on the size of the place.  Also some camps will send the EMT on off site trips.

I want to be clear on this...an EMT-Basic can act as a medical director?
What are the specific responsibilities? Medical director is usually an M.D.
who uses his medical license to give EMTs and Paramedics authority to give
patient treatment in the field. I don't think EMTs even have medical
authority/ability without an MD medical director outlining a scope of
practice for them.
Are things done differently in New York?
