International Student at HACC Reflects on Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program

Hi, my name is Chris and I am a HACC student in the EMT program. I'm from El Salvador. The resources that HACC has it's uh, it's better, in compared to other countries. You know, where here, we have access to a lot of stuff a lot of medical instruments that are needed out in the field. In countries where I go we don't have, like for example, an ambulance. We have pickup trucks and we just roll people on top. We probably don't have longboards or, or cylinders with oxygen stuff like that, but, so the challenges will always be the material, in the material section, uh, area where we don't, we might not have access to that. Also, it's the level of education. As far as here is like a very good education. It's a premiere education, is quality education versus going to another country where they never heard any other symptoms that I probably learned here. And fighting, no, trying, trying my hardest to get into the paramedic program. My philosophy is that the more I know about how I can serve my people in other countries, the more I know, the more I can serve them.
