EMT-B 2001 Practicing Their Skills
Academy
students are taught the skills of an EMT during lecture time, live
demonstrations and from the text book. However; knowledge
without practical experience is not much use in the EMS
world. Students receive many hours of hands-on training
practicing their newly acquired skills.
Students
practice backboarding and packaging a patient
Students from
the EMT-B Class of 2001 reported little or no difficulty when
performing before the licensure board at the State of Michigan
practical examinations.
Academy students perform, rehearse and review their skills over
and over again until they become second nature. These
life-saving skills will then become so natural and students will
become so comfortable with performing them that they can be
accomplished almost automatically without giving much thought. |
