Careers
Our lives often depend upon the quick, knowledgeable, skillful, and compassionate care of emergency medical personnel. Once dispatched to an incident by an Emergency Medical Dispatcher, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and Paramedics take patient histories and make physical assessments to determine the nature of the illness or injury. They give appropriate medical care following strict guidelines. EMTs and Paramedics use special equipment to immobilize patients before transporting them to hospitals. Upo n arrival to the hospital, they report patient conditions to medical personnel.
