How To Become an EMT This Summer!

The first level is Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), focusing on basic emergency scene interventions and patient stabilization. Following EMR, the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification provides foundational skills for patient assessment and management in a variety of emergency situations. This is considered basic life support roles.

The Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) level expands upon the EMT's capabilities, incorporating more advanced airway devices, intravenous fluids, and some medications. The highest certification level, Paramedic, encompasses advanced medical procedures, pharmacology, and the use of complex equipment. These two roles would be considered advanced life support.

Start by taking your first EMT class!

Be great,

I did the expedited summer course at 10 weeks long and it was a full time job, no joke. But I am extremely glad I did because I made tons of friends and learned how to truly study and put in the time.

Did 8 week Online Hybrid course. Through a local EMS program. Started my career as a security officer or a (EMR) had to be certified in CPR/AED and basic first aid course. Through there had a few encounters where I had to use my training in that area, and found that's what I wanted to do.

I would like to point out though that every Paramedic highly highly recommends being an EMT for at least 2-3 years, realistically 3 before going for their paramedic. (:

I’m so glad I found my EMT Academy and finally got certified. I really lucked out. All the other programs were either a hybrid class or they made you jump through 1000 different fire hoops to get in

That's great that you found your passion in EMS! There are healthcare education programs that can help prepare you for EMT training. And yes, there are EMTs who specialize in wilderness or forestry settings!

Do you mean you need an associates degree to be a paramedic or that you have to do 2 years of coursework to be a paramedic?
Because I already have an associates degree.

[mattec]

So no need to have any basic training of some kind before you enter those weeks of training?
Like healthcare education etc.
