Greyhounds set for Bi-district clash with Edinburg Vela
Emergency Medical Services students from Texas State Technical College recently learned about some of the career paths available to them during a visit by members of the City of Pharr’s Emergency Medical Services recruitment team, some of whom are also TSTC alumni.
The EMS professionals from Pharr discussed new equipment that their department has received, such as ambulances, power stretchers, a device that delivers chest compression during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and a video laryngoscope. Additional topics included descriptions of the duties of tactical SWAT medics and flight paramedics.
Danny Ramirez, EMS chief for the city of Pharr, expressed appreciation for TSTC’s EMS program. “Pharr EMS seeks individuals who want to take care of their community, are well-rounded and will not be afraid to take the lead,” he said. “TSTC’s EMS program brings great value to our department because it allows us to have EMTs (emergency medical technicians) that currently work and attend class.”
TSTC alumna Diana Garza, deputy chief of the non-emergency division for Pharr EMS, said the eagerness from the candidates was encouraging.
