Paramedic Careers

Those who work in Emergency Medical Services are essential members of the healthcare team. Paramedics provide on-the-scene care for patients who need help, become ill or are injured in accidents. These patients’ lives often depend upon the quick reactions and competent care provided by these professionals. Often working for fire departments, ambulance services, or hospitals, paramedics respond to emergency calls, provide emergency medical services and transport patients to medical facilities. 

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of these “first responders” is projected to grow more than 20 percent over the next decade, which is much faster than the average for all occupations.
