EMT

EMT covers the essential skills and knowledge required for emergency medical technicians to provide critical care in emergency situations.

Practical Applications

Real-World Emergency Scenarios

Applying Skills Under Pressure

Real emergencies are unpredictable and stressful. EMTs must adapt quickly, think on their feet, and use all their training to help save lives.

Scenario-Based Training

  • Simulated Car Accidents: Practice extricating and treating multiple patients.
  • Medical Emergencies at Home: Respond to calls for chest pain or breathing problems.

Making Decisions Fast

EMTs use protocols and experience to decide when to provide care, call for backup, or transport immediately.

Learning from Experience

Every call is unique, and EMTs grow by reflecting on what went well and what could be improved.

Examples

  • Responding to a house fire, treating burn victims, and coordinating with firefighters.

  • Managing multiple patients at a sports game after a lightning strike.
