Emergency Medical Technician
Help save lives in a growing career field.
Emergency Medical Technician Overview
People's lives often depend on the quick response and competent care of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics. Incidents as varied as automobile accidents, heart attacks, slips and falls, childbirth, and gunshot wounds require immediate medical attention. EMTs and paramedics provide this vital service as they care for and transport the sick or injured to a medical facility.
EMTs and paramedics who have advanced education and certifications should enjoy the most favorable job prospects as clients and patients demand higher levels of care before arriving at the hospital.
Can you work well under pressure?
Keeping alert and focused during an emergency is key to success in this career field.
