QUESTION 38 OF 40

Do you have any medical training?

Many border patrol agencies have trained emergency medical technicians (EMTs) on staff, while others are adopting EMT programs to serve the public better when there is an emergency. The interviewer wants to know if you have any medical training or if they will need to put you through an EMT program if hired.

Focus on describing any medical training you have received, which may place you higher on the candidate list. Tell the interviewer if you are current in CPR, AED, or First Aid. If you have advanced training and have certification or licensing, highlight those qualifications.

"Yes, I have been a certified EMT for five years and am currently on my CPR, AED, and Basic First Aid for Healthcare Provider certifications."

"Yes, I have been trained in CPR and Basic First Aid. My certifications were renewed last month and are valid for two years. I am interested in the EMT program you offer and would like to attend if you choose to hire me."

"Yes, I am a trained combat medic and was certified eight years ago through the Joint Special Operations Medical Training Center. I have maintained my certification by taking continuing education courses and recertifying every two years."
