How to Become an EMT-Paramedic in Pennsylvania and Find a Great EMT-Paramedic Program.

The EMT-Paramedic is a first responder. Their job is usually in an ambulatory setting, with work also available in hospitals and medical facilities. The work that an EMT-P performs is often grueling, requiring work out of doors in various types of weather, dealing with people in greatly heightened emotional states, lifting and moving patients, and administering lifesaving care with the potential to being exposed to communicable disease. There are specific requirements that must be met to become an EMT-P and these begin with the education needed to qualify for certification. When you have attained the education and training needed, you can expect to make between $21,228 and $51,210 annually, higher in Pittsburg. Once you have made a firm decision and know that becoming an EMT-P is your professional calling, you will want to know how to become an EMT-Paramedic in Pennsylvania. Luckily, there are many programs available to give you the start that you need, with programs located throughout the state. To become an EMT you must be at least 16 years of age and to become an EMT-P, you must have passed your 18th birthday. You will need to complete advanced courses in IVF therapy, pharmacology and cardiology, as well as trauma management and any other basic courses required of the program you select. Along with the previously mentioned courses, you'll be required to have finished Advanced Cardiac Life Support sponsored by the AMA and a Pre-hospital Trauma Life Support class. In total, you should be ready to dedicate about 14 months of training and education to becoming an EMT-P. Once certified, you will be expected to complete an additional 18 hours of training every year. Finding a great EMT-Paramedic program in Pennsylvania is your next step. Keep in mind, there are numerous programs available in Pennsylvania, so putting in some research to determine which program most closely fits your individual needs is very important. To begin with, you can find many listings for EMT-Paramedic programs by visiting the EMS in Pennsylvania website. However, a few of the available programs include Lancaster General College of Nursing and Health Sciences and LEMSA in Lancaster, York Hospital EMS Training Academy in York, Harrisburg Area Community College with campuses in Harrisburg, Gettysburg, York, and Lebanon, and Delaware County Community College in Media. Keep in mind, length of courses may vary, so it's important that factor in program length with location and financial aid availability. Diligent training and education in this field promises the ability to both do well and advance as you see fit.
