Duties and responsibilities:
Emergency medical technicians, or EMTs, usually work in teams of two in specially designed ambulances. They provide immediate life or limb saving medical treatment at the scenes of accidents and injuries as well as transport causalities to hospital emergency rooms for further care. The job is both physically demanding and stressful. Emergency medical technicians often respond to:
·        Automobile accidents
·        Heart attacks
·        Gunshot wounding’s
·        Unscheduled childbirth
·        Drowning`s
·        Other serious medical emergencies
Average salary: $25,000- $37,500
Educational requirements:
Students must have a high school diploma (in some areas GED certificates may be substituted) in order to become an emergency medical technician. Drivers education, health, and science courses are strongly recommended and may be required before enrolling in some training programs.
Basic emergency medical technician training includes about 100-120 hours spent in the classroom and 10 hours in a hospital emergency room. Emergency medical technicians are required to pass state licensing or certification tests and participate in continuing education programs. Many emergency medical technicians earn associate degree’s in their field.

I would love to be a medical technician and help out people who would need my help. And learn new things. And be a hero.
       Choose the right!!!!
