Why EMT School? (Registration, EMT Well-being)
In the very first episode of RideAlong: EMT School, Mike and Max dive into why they decided to start EMT school and what it takes to get enrolled. Joined by Jonathon, a working paramedic, the hosts discuss the sacrifices needed to balance training with work and family, the gear and requirements for getting started, and what new EMT students should expect from their first night in class.
Whether you’re curious about becoming an EMT or just want a behind-the-scenes look at the student journey, this is where it all begins.
