Frequently Asked Questions

What are the character traits of a good EMT?
EMTs must possess the kind of unique psychological stability required of anybody in any field of medicine that deals with victims of severe injury. It may even be said that EMTs require an even greater level of stoicism since they are the first to arrive at the scenes of accidents or violence to treat victims outside the more sterile setting of a hospital or emergency room.

Paramedics we’ve talked to said that it takes a special person to bring deep empathy to an emergency medical call, and offer sympathy while treating an injured or dying person. This level of humanity gives injury victims a degree of dignity and assurance in their most desperate hour. This is what it takes to be an exceptional EMT or Paramedic.

What Education/Training is required?
Applicants must possess a High School Diploma/GED; a valid driver's license; and be 18 years old. The basic EMT program is a about 120 hours of study, including testing. Upon successful completion you will be able to take the National Exam for license.
