AVON PARK, Fla.–May 6, 2016–Fifteen graduates of South Florida State College’s Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program accepted advanced technical diplomas during a ceremony held May 4 in the SFSC Public Safety Auditorium, Highlands Campus, in Avon Park.

EMTs function as part of an emergency rescue and transportation team by responding to emergency calls through a dispatch system, operating emergency vehicles safely, assessing scenes of accidents or illnesses, setting priorities for treating patients based on their degrees of illness or injury, providing prehospital emergency care to treat trauma, shock, wounds, and other medical issues.
