Want a career that means something to people? Do you have a passion to serve and care?

As an EMT, every day you are providing care and service to people in your community in their time of need. Whether in a critical emergency or routine medical transport, there is no more rewarding career than one serving others.

Medstar provides EMT training with no tuition and no debt. Upon licensure, you begin full time employment in our field training program, and on to your career as an EMT.
Classes run at our Detroit and Clinton Township locations. You'll learn from and train with our team members who've spent years in the field and in the classroom, and you'll be helping your community from day one.

After becoming a full time EMT with Medstar, you are qualified to begin our free, in-house paramedic program to advance your clinical knowledge and scope of care.
Our next classes begin on June 8th in Detroit and June 9th in Clinton Twp.

❤️ CPR & AED Awareness Week is June 1–7 ❤️

In a cardiac emergency, YOU can make the difference before professional help arrives. High-quality CPR performed immediately can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival.

⏱️ CPR and an AED used within the first minute can lead to survival rates as high as 90%. Every minute without action matters.

This week, take 90 seconds to learn Hands-Only CPR:
👉 heart.org/handsonlycpr

Here are 3 simple ways to help your community become more prepared:
✔️ Watch and share the Hands-Only CPR video
✔️ Check your organization’s AED batteries and pads
✔️ Encourage CPR and AED training for staff, family, and friends

Every step toward preparedness strengthens our ability to help one another. ❤️

Hands-Only CPR can be just as effective as conventional CPR. Learn what Hands-Only CPR is and how to give it. The power is in your hands.
