Become a Philippine Red Cross Emergency Medical Technician: A Legacy of Service, A Standard of Excellence
Since 1992, the Philippine Red Cross has been the nation's leader in forging highly skilled Emergency Medical Technicians. Recognized by the Department of Health, our program has produced thousands of graduates who now serve with distinction both here in the Philippines and across the globe, carrying with them the core values of life-saving and selfless humanitarian service.
The Role of a PRC-Trained EMT: Professionalism in Practice
Being an EMT is more than just knowing first aid; it is a profession built on discipline, knowledge, and trust. As a PRC-trained EMT, you will learn to operate at the highest professional standard:
• Guided by Evidence-Based Knowledge: You will understand the "why" behind every action. Your practice will be rooted in the latest medical science and pre-hospital care research, ensuring the interventions you provide are both effective and safe.
• Adherence to Protocols: In an emergency, there is no room for guesswork. You will be trained to function within standard and approved medical protocols, providing systematic and predictable care that is proven to improve patient outcomes.
• Defined Scope of Practice: You will master a specific set of life-saving skills and understand the clear boundaries of your role within the emergency response system. This professional discipline, known as a Scope of Practice and Practice Model, ensures you work effectively and safely alongside other healthcare providers.
