Emergency Medical Technician

    Patient assessment
    Burn management
    Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
    Emergency birth assistance
    Extrication of patients from dangerous situations

Average Salary: $23,830- $40,421

Education:


Depending where you live most states require you to take a certificate program in emergency medical technician training so that you can qualify to take the state or national certification exams. Also, many community colleges offer associate's degree programs at the paramedic level. Depending on whether you choose to earn a certificate or an associate's degree, basic and intermediate emergency medical technician training can be completed in six months, while paramedic training may take 1-2 years. In every state requires emergency medical technicians to be licensed in order to practice. All licensing exams have a written portion and a skills test. Once licensed, you'll need to earn continuing education credits to maintain your credentials.

No I would not like to be an emergency medical technician because I am not really good with bones and saving people in time of need I have an extremely weak stomach and would probably pass out and they will die on me because I am terrible emergency medical technician, so for the sakes of every ones lives I will not go to college and attempt at all to be an emergency medical technician. You’re welcome world for knowing my self very wellJ
