EMTs (emergency medical technicians) hold their patients' lives in their hands. More often than not, they're the first responders at the scene. They provide immediate medical treatment to patients in need and then transport the sick or injured to medical facilities if necessary. They work under pressure, often with very high stakes.

Depending on your goals and direction, becoming an EMT usually takes between 1 and 3 years. As an EMT, you must address first-response scenarios and know basic life support techniques. You should know how to treat wounds, apply tourniquets, give CPR – the works!
