EMT Jobs

An Emergency Medical Technician, often called an EMT, is the first-response medical personnel that are called upon when a patient is unable to make it to the hospital. EMTs are often on call or required to stay at the rescue squad station for long periods of time. An EMT is required to receive certain levels of training, varying by state. However, there are three common levels of EMT certification: basic, intermediate and paramedic. While many EMTs are unpaid volunteers, many are making the switch to salaried positions, with a median salary of $27,070.

Paramedics are first-response medical professionals that treat patients at the site of injury as well as transport them to the nearest medical facility. Paramedics are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) that have received the highest level of certification. EMT-Paramedics are able to administer drugs orally and intravenously as well as other complex tasks that vary by state. Upon arrival at the medical facility, paramedics assist in the transfer of the patient and give doctors a synopsis of the patient's condition.

Job outlook will be favorable for EMTs and paramedics in the next ten years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS.) Job growth is also expected to rise at a rate that is higher than the national average.
