Career Opportunities
Paramedics provide pre-hospital
emergency care at an advanced level, or care of patients in an emergency
room environment. They perform basic EMT life support skills, IV
therapy, drug administration and advanced airway management. A recent
survey conducted by the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council and the
D/FW Area Health Education Center predicts that paramedics may expect
to earn from $17,000 to $33,000 annually. Currently, paramedics
are in great demand throughout the United States.
