I've been offered a job at a local racetrack, first as and Aid, and then as EMT when I get certified..
My Chief said in all the years he's been racing at the track there has only been one person taken away by ambulance and that most of the treatments are for people that work on the cars.
It opens in April or early May, the NYS written test date is May 15. It'll take 6-8 to see if I passed and become a certified EMT or failed, unless I go to an on-site scoring facility hours away and pay to test.
I didn't start this with the intention of being an paid EMT. I started this because I was approached by the EMS Captain of the volunteer FD in the town I live (we go to the same church), saw and need, and decided to help the FD and community. I have no prior medical, EMS, or FD experience or training, or racing experience, basically I've started from step 1 where most of the other people in the EMT class have some sort of medical or FD experience.
Help me work through this in my head. What are things I should consider or be aware of? Questions I should ask?
