Emergency Medical Technician
The Emergency Medical Technician designation, or EMT, is an entry level classification and the initial step to becoming an advanced EMT, paramedic, or registered nurse. EMTs are often the first responders in the event of medical or trauma emergencies. EMTs can also aid in transportation of the sick and injured to the hospital. Compassion, communication skills, calm demeanor and the ability to work under pressure are all key traits for Emergency Medical Technicians.
