What does it take to be an EMS?

If you are asking what does it take to start in EMS (ie Paramedic) Well it takes class work and also it depends on how far you want to go in the field. If you want to just start out to find out if you want to be in it, then you can go to your local Community College and enroll in a EMT class, usually 6 months, then test as a basic. That will get you started.
