Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is a critical component of the nation’s emergency and trauma care system. Hundreds of thousands of EMS personnel provide more than 16 million medical transports each year. These personnel deal with an extraordinary range of conditions and severity on a daily basis - from mild fevers to massive head traumas. The work they do is challenging, stressful, at times dangerous, and often highly rewarding.”

Emergency Medical Technician (EMT-Basic) education is the first standard level of training for the emergency medical service system.
An EMT-Basic is trained to care for patients at the scene of an accident and while transporting patients by ambulance to the hospital. They are a vital member of both the healthcare delivery system and public safety.
EMT-Basic Certification is now a frequent requirement for employment in many fire departments and public safety agencies.
Paramedic education is the highest standard level of training for the emergency medical service system. Paramedics receive extensive training in the use of advanced procedures, medications, and specialized equipment to manage medical emergencies and traumatic injuries in patients of all ages.
Through careful patient assessment and team oriented medical care, Paramedics help prevent and reduce death and disability from illness and injury.
