What Makes A Good EMT?
I get a bunch of E-mails from people just starting their EMT education who want advice on how to excel in their programs. “How should I prepare? What books do you recommend?” The questions vary but their is always the familiar flavor of enthusiasm and the same basic question, “How do I do this well?”
Success in this field is fairly predictable. Use the right recipe and you’ll get there. I think the hierarchy of EMS success looks like this:
1.) Attitude
2.) Motivation
3.) Tolerance for repetition
4.) Goal orientation
5.) Strategy and tactics
6.) Performance
