1. Self-Defense Introduction: Learn the basics of self-defense, an essential skill for EMTs who can often find themselves in challenging situations.
2. Extrication Class: Get hands-on training on how to safely remove patients from crash scenes, ensuring minimum harm while maximizing care.
3. Specialty Lectures: Benefit from guest lectures from experts in the field, bringing a wealth of real-world experience and advanced knowledge.

Learning about paramedics and EMTs who work on ambulances can be extremely beneficial for children. It can alleviate their fear during an emergency situation and equip them with knowledge on when to call 911, the important questions they may be asked, and even allow them to practice using some equipment.
