The Work of EMTs Today

In a world captivated by technology and fast-paced change, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) stand out for something timeless—human beings helping fellow human beings.  Regardless of what is happening in society and the economy, there will always be a need for emergency medical technicians. One of their most important qualities is the desire to help others in their times of need? Other character traits include being able to be calm under pressure, empathy for the suffering, and the ability to act when an emergency arises.

EMTs today are responding to everything from car crashes, drug overdoses, and cardiac arrests to natural disasters and community crises. And it’s that desire to help others and knowing what to do in emergencies that can often save lives.
