Job Definition Emergency Medical Technicians, often referred to as EMTs, render care of injured or sick patients in emergency and non- emergency situations in a pre-hospital. This job requires the ability to act quickly and efficiently, as sometimes the patient may be in a critical situation. EMTs respond to emergency calls and and non- emergency to transport patients to medical facilities in addition to performing Basic Life Support Care. Evening and weekend work are regularly required due to the nature of the role. Those well-suited to becoming an emergency medical technician are calm and friendly with a good understanding of basic medical terminology and procedures, physical strength, and great attention to detail. Distinguishing Characteristics The Emergency Medical Technicians render high quality pre-hospital care in Emergent and Non-Emergent situations under the Standard Operating Treatment Guidelines set forth by the Southwestern Illinois EMS System. The Emergency Medical technician must have good interpersonal communication skills interacting with co-workers, other Healthcare personnel, Law Enforcement, Fire departments, and families.
Work Environment (Essential functions) EMTs work both indoors and outdoors, in all types of weather. They are required to do considerable kneeling, bending, and heavy lifting. EMTs may be required to work in loud and often difficult situations. In addition, EMTs and paramedics may be exposed to diseases such as hepatitis-B and AIDS, as well as violence from drug overdose victims or mentally unstable patients. The work is not only physically strenuous, but also stressful, involving life-or-death situations and suffering patients.
