Jimmy Marwan Kassis holds a psychology degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, where he graduated with honors in 2014. Currently, Jimmy Marwan Kassis serves as an EMT for Beaumont EMS in Taylor, Michigan, where he responds to emergency calls and provides emergency care to the critically injured.
To supplement his role as an EMT, Mr. Kassis holds certification as an emergency medical technician – basic (EMT-B). EMT certifications are administered by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, a nonprofit organization established in 1970. The organization requires EMTs to complete a state-approved psychomotor exam and a National Registry cognitive exam in addition to holding CPR certification.
Currently, there are three levels of EMT certification: paramedic, intermediate, and basic (EMT-B). The basic level requires the ability to assess patients and provide medical care for common conditions. EMT-B technicians also have at least 110 hours of training that equips them to provide basic life support functions and engage in non-invasive care procedures.
