The '''Los Santos Emergency Medical Services''' (LSEMS) is focused on treating injured patients in the city, both in the field and in the office.

It is more commonly known as '''MD''' (stands for Medical Department), and it is the faction responsible for all things medical! When you dial 911 and ask for a 'medic', you're dialing MD!

The members of LSEMS are taught, at the very base of things, how to be medics. You will encounter a wide array of medical fields in the form of Divisions (more about those below), which give the members of the faction an opportunity to expand what they can do in the faction, and what they can provide to the community.

* '''Internal Affairs'''
:: '''-> Internal Affairs''' (IA) is responsible for taking internal and civilian reports on medics in the department. They handle cases of malpractice, unprofessionalism, and other wrongdoings. IA members are trained over a long period of time, supervised by more senior members, until they are able to handle situations on their own without issues.
* '''Field Training'''
:: '''-> Field Training''' (FTD) is a division that handles all the training of new EMRs and reinstatees. Their job is to prepare new members of the department for their job as an EMT, taking them through the Field Training Program (FTP) and Reinstatement Training Program (RTP). It is one of the largest divisions of LSEMS, and often forges inseverable bonds between the trainees and their trainers, lasting through employment and often past it.
* '''Air & Rescue'''
:: '''-> Air and Rescue''' (A&R) is responsible for ensure an easier and quicker response to calls in tough areas by training medics on how to operate the Kamacho (for mountainous ground rescue) and the two medevac helicopters - Maverick and Swift (for aerial rescues). Being fully trained in this division allows medics to operate in hard-to-reach places, including mountains, forests, islands and more. It is a very popular division, as it allows the trained medic to get to calls faster and more efficiently.
* '''Fire & Rescue'''
:: '''-> Fire and Rescue''' (F&R) trains medics to be firefighters, able to handle situations that above a normal EMTs training level. This ranges from small fires, house fires, and scenes with chemicals or drugs. These medics become trained to handle the aforementioned situations with precision and efficiency, while maintaining safety, often assisting law enforcement with cleanup situations as well.
* '''Lifeguard'''
:: '''->''' The '''Lifeguard''' division is designed to give EMTs a way to patrol the seas and lakes of the city safely. It trains them in water rescue and ALS for water-related injuries. They are given access to a marine vehicle, able to traverse bodies of water and access patients who are stranded out of a swim's reach.
* '''Crisis Response Unit'''
:: '''->''' The '''Crisis Response Unit''' (CRU) is responsible for handling patients experiencing mental health issues and more. Calls regarding primarily mental health are handled by medics who are trained CRU members, often being the person taking to the patient 1 on 1 and bringing the situation to a less severe level, and the patient out of harm's way.
* '''Advanced Medicine Unit'''
:: '''->''' The '''Advanced Medicine Unit''' (AMU) is trained to perform advanced treatments, such as surgeries, appointments, and check-ups. They add an extra layer of RP to the department, often in longer sessions that take part within a hospital interior (most commonly Pillbox). The division most commonly deals with advanced physical injury treatment, as well as post-operation hospital care both in the short and long term.
* '''Forensics'''
:: '''-> Forensics''' is dedicated to helping patients and other departments with precision lab work. Medics trained in forensic work often take on unique RP that takes place out in the field as well as in the lab, performing RP analysis of samples ranging from simple blood matching to more advanced testing.
* '''Recruitment and Employment'''
:: '''-> Recruitment and Employment''' (RED) is the first division new applicants will meet in LSEMS. They are responsible for conducting interviews, reviewing applications, and helping new EMRs sign their employment contracts. Personnel who are trained as RED Handlers go through extensive training, supervised by senior members of the division to ensure they understand how to take the process from reviewing an application to breaking the news to the applicant.
* '''Public Relations'''
:: '''-> Public Relations''' (PR) is the division that is responsible for maintaining the LSEMS's reputation through community outreach events. They host various events to connect LSEMS with the community, as well as internal events for employees. Members of the division also partake in creation of Monthly LSEMS Press Releases, as well as any other written releases from the department, including LifeInvader.
* '''Basic Life Support'''
:: '''-> Basic Life Support Division''' (BLS) ensures members of the community are trained in basic medical treatments to ensure the city has people who are qualified to help, even when EMTs are not available at the time. This is done via scheduled BLS Classes (sometimes called BLS Courses), where a trained member of the BLS division transfers their knowledge to people attending, ensuring everyone understands the material at hand.

== Divisions ==
The Los Santos Emergency Medical Services has a total of '''11''' different divisions, including:
* '''Internal Affairs'''
:: '''-> Internal Affairs''' (IA) is responsible for taking internal and civilian reports on medics in the department. They handle cases of malpractice, unprofessionalism, and other wrongdoings. IA members are trained over a long period of time, supervised by more senior members, until they are able to handle situations on their own without issues.
* '''Field Training'''
:: '''-> Field Training''' (FTD) is a division that handles all the training of new EMRs and reinstatees. Their job is to prepare new members of the department for their job as an EMT, taking them through the Field Training Program (FTP) and Reinstatement Training Program (RTP). It is one of the largest divisions of LSEMS, and often forges inseverable bonds between the trainees and their trainers, lasting through employment and often past it.
* '''Air & Rescue'''
:: '''-> Air and Rescue''' (A&R) is responsible for ensure an easier and quicker response to calls in tough areas by training medics on how to operate the Kamacho (for mountainous ground rescue) and the two medevac helicopters - Maverick and Swift (for aerial rescues). Being fully trained in this division allows medics to operate in hard-to-reach places, including mountains, forests, islands and more. It is a very popular division, as it allows the trained medic to get to calls faster and more efficiently.
* '''Fire & Rescue'''
:: '''-> Fire and Rescue''' (F&R) trains medics to be firefighters, able to handle situations that above a normal EMTs training level. This ranges from small fires, house fires, and scenes with chemicals or drugs. These medics become trained to handle the aforementioned situations with precision and efficiency, while maintaining safety, often assisting law enforcement with cleanup situations as well.
* '''Lifeguard'''
:: '''->''' The '''Lifeguard''' division is designed to give EMTs a way to patrol the seas and lakes of the city safely. It trains them in water rescue and ALS for water-related injuries. They are given access to a marine vehicle, able to traverse bodies of water and access patients who are stranded out of a swim's reach.
* '''Crisis Response Unit'''
:: '''->''' The '''Crisis Response Unit''' (CRU) is responsible for handling patients experiencing mental health issues and more. Calls regarding primarily mental health are handled by medics who are trained CRU members, often being the person taking to the patient 1 on 1 and bringing the situation to a less severe level, and the patient out of harm's way.
* '''Advanced Medicine Unit'''
:: '''->''' The '''Advanced Medicine Unit''' (AMU) is trained to perform advanced treatments, such as surgeries, appointments, and check-ups. They add an extra layer of RP to the department, often in longer sessions that take part within a hospital interior (most commonly Pillbox). The division most commonly deals with advanced physical injury treatment, as well as post-operation hospital care both in the short and long term.
* '''Forensics'''
:: '''-> Forensics''' is dedicated to helping patients and other departments with precision lab work. Medics trained in forensic work often take on unique RP that takes place out in the field as well as in the lab, performing RP analysis of samples ranging from simple blood matching to more advanced testing.
* '''Recruitment and Employment'''
:: '''-> Recruitment and Employment''' (RED) is the first division new applicants will meet in LSEMS. They are responsible for conducting interviews, reviewing applications, and helping new EMRs sign their employment contracts. Personnel who are trained as RED Handlers go through extensive training, supervised by senior members of the division to ensure they understand how to take the process from reviewing an application to breaking the news to the applicant.
* '''Public Relations'''
:: '''-> Public Relations''' (PR) is the division that is responsible for maintaining the LSEMS's reputation through community outreach events. They host various events to connect LSEMS with the community, as well as internal events for employees. Members of the division also partake in creation of Monthly LSEMS Press Releases, as well as any other written releases from the department, including LifeInvader.
* '''Basic Life Support'''
:: '''-> Basic Life Support Division''' (BLS) ensures members of the community are trained in basic medical treatments to ensure the city has people who are qualified to help, even when EMTs are not available at the time. This is done via scheduled BLS Classes (sometimes called BLS Courses), where a trained member of the BLS division transfers their knowledge to people attending, ensuring everyone understands the material at hand.
