What Can I Do as an EMT?

A practicing EMT will respond to life and death situations. These professionals often ride in ambulances provide patients with an immediate level of care. If a patient is experiencing trauma, an EMT will assess their condition, provide immediate care, stabilize the patient, and transport them to a healthcare facility.

No two days are ever the same when working as an EMT. Licensed EMTs work to make sure that a patient remains stable during transport until they receive further attention from a doctor, surgeon, or specialist. EMTs are typically some of the first healthcare workers to arrive on the scene after a 911 call comes in. Enrolling in the EMT Basic training program through Texas EMS School is a pivotal step in earning the credentials you require for a full-time career.
