New EMT program at Edison High School offers new career opportunity to seniors
SAN ANTONIO โ A new program at Edison High School is preparing the next generation of emergency workers. But theyโll also be learning how to care for patients who are maybe having a heart attack, severe respiratory distress. They may be going out on COVID patients when they graduate,โ said Deborah Ramirez, magnet coordinator for Edison High School. On days where they have to practice skills, students will learn outside. โWeโll probably do the skills outdoors so that we can not worry so much about COVID transmission,โ Ramirez said.
