Universal Careers helps fill important health care need

For tens of thousands of emergency patients this year, the person who saves their life will not be a doctor or nurse.

In many cases, the role of a first responder such as an EMT/paramedic is to assess and stabilize a patient. They also provide lifesaving measures such as CPR, stopping bleeding and defibrillation. As a result, EMT/paramedics are a vital part of the health care field.

This is why emt is involved with providing the best possible training for emergency medical professionals. The place EMT/paramedics have in health care is as an immediate figure in an emergency. With changing technology and an aging population, training is crucial.

Universal Careers prepares its students through an intensive course, taught by licensed professionals who have worked as EMT/paramedics. The students work with actual medical equipment in settings other than just a classroom so they are prepared to certify as EMTs at the end of the course. Universal Careers graduates are able to work in all 50 states in either public or private sector jobs.

“Universal Careers has become a leader in EMT/paramedic training because we focus on the end result- graduates who know how to give the best care possible to emergency patients,' said Jack Peterson, career development for UC. “This is part of the reason why we have such a large number of clients that we help staff. They know our graduates are prepared for the field.”

Universal Careers graduates receive assistance after training to help them find employment in the area best suited for them.

With more than 210,000 individuals in the EMT/paramedic field and a projected 9% growth, Emergency Medical Services is a challenging and vital career that needs driven people who can learn and keep learning to provide assistance to patients.
