|
| Choosing
a Career in EMS |
|
|
Making
a career choice is a huge responsibility.
Whether you are just graduating from
high school, re-entering the work force
or contemplating a new career it is
a decision that can be life changing.
A career as
an EMT can be very rewarding. It allows
you interaction with people in a time
when they can have some of their greatest
needs and often allows you the opportunity
to make a difference.
Course work to become
an EMT can be completed at a college
or through a training institute such
as the one provided at Tri-Hospital
EMS. Many people who are not ready
for a five day a week college schedule
find that taking courses through a
training institute allows them they
flexibility they are looking for in
a course schedule, for employment
and personal reasons. |
Classes are often two nights
a week and occasional Saturdays, with courses
varying in length depending on the program
you are taking.
Some colleges are now
allowing students the opportunity to apply
their training and experience towards a
degree by allotting a set number of credits
based on your history. The number of credits
allotted and to what degrees you may apply
then are based on the policies of the college
you attend.
|
|
Career
Opportunities in the EMS Field |
|
There
are various levels of professionals
in the field of Emergency Medicine.
A Medical First Responder (MFR)
may also be a certified police officer
or someone who works in a factory
as a training officer.
People
who work as volunteers on their
local Fire Departments may also
hold a Medical First Responder License.
Basic
EMTs, the second level in the EMS
System, can work on an ambulance,
in a hospital or physician’s
office.
Paramedics,
which are the highest level of trained
EMS professionals, can also hold
jobs on the ambulance, on Full Time
Fire Departments, in Hospitals and
many other areas of medicine. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
What
does EMT, EMS or Paramedic Training Involve? |
Depending on the
level of licensure you wish to hold, the training
will vary.
Medical First
Responder
A MFR will incur approximately 88
hours of classroom and practical time. Courses
are typically one or two days a week and require
a test with the National Registry to complete
their licensure requirements. Students will
learn such skills as bandaging, airway management,
spinal immobilization, and use of the AED
or Automated External Defibrillator.
Basic EMT
A Basic EMT, which is the minimum level needed
to work on an ambulance, requires approximately
240 hours of classroom and practical time.
Students will also need to complete clinicals
in a hospital and on an ambulance. The minimum
number of clinical hours required is 40. Students
who take the Basic EMT program will learn
airway management, spinal immobilization,
and limited advanced airway skills.
|
Paramedic
The Paramedic student, once completing the
EMT Program, will enter a year long program
– which typically meets twice a week
and occasional Saturdays. They will need to
put in 950 hours of combined lecture, practical
and clinical time. Students who take the Paramedic
Program will enhance the skills they have
learned at the previous levels and will also
learn advanced skills such airway intubation,
EKG monitoring, and intravenous fluid administration.
If taken through Tri-Hospital EMS, students
will also receive Advance Cardiac Life Support
(ACLS) training and Advanced Neo-Natal Resuscitation
(NALS). Students will be required to take
a test with the National Registry to be granted
licensure.
Additional enhancement programs are available
for all levels of licensure. Continuing education
is mandatory to maintain licensure. |
