EMT/Paramedic Careers: Help People When Lives Are on the Line
 If you enjoy helping people, consider a career as an emergency medical technician or paramedic. Not only do you make a difference when it counts most, but you also are involved in a rewarding and challenging medical field that will always have job openings.
Both EMTs and paramedics are on the front lines when people’s lives are on the line. The biggest difference? Basic EMTs usually receive from 150 to more than 200 hours of training, while paramedics receive at least 1,000 hours, which allows them to give the most comprehensive pre-hospital care.
Interested in becoming a firefighter? EMT certification can give you a leg up in the job search.
DCCCD’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Paramedic programs offer an associate degree in paramedicine and certificates for emergency medical technician (EMT) or paramedic training. Our Web site has detailed information about the EMS and Paramedic program options available at Brookhaven College and El Centro College.
