Basic Emergency Medical Technicians are members
of the health care team in the pre-hospital emergency care
setting. EMT personnel staff ambulances and are also employed in
hospitals, industry, and other public service agencies. They are
expected to respond rapidly and effectively to many forms of
trauma and medical emergencies and work in close contact with
emergency physicians. The job is often fast-paced and always
challenging. State licensing is required. Basic EMT courses are
approved by the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry
Services. An EMT Academy option is available to students. |
