You will require training as an Emergency Medical Technician, or EMT. Check with your state health department, or drop by a fire station or ambulance station to find out how you can receive training.Way the heck back when, in rural areas they would accept Advanced First Aid (40 hours) or First Responder (60 hours) for volunteers to help with ambulance work. However, EMT (with at least 140 hours) is the most training you can receive without additional experience. This is to say, if you want to go on and be a paramedic, you need at least a year of experience as an EMT, and to have your department approve the decision. Paramedic is about 2,000 hours of training and experience, and involves the application of some invasive procedures that can be very dangerous to apply in the field.So! Stop by and find out what it's like in your state and your area. Maybe you can be a volunteer, or possibly start a career as a paid EMT someday. Salaries are low, the working conditions are poor, and it's probably not as much excitement as you think it is. It can be very rewarding.

Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians are the most common occupations associated with ambulances. Some places have a paramedic paired with an ambulance driver. The driver cannot administer any care to the patient beyond helping the paramedic put the patient on the stretcher and then loading the stretcher.
Good luck!Will D

Theya re called dead or injured people.
They are either paramedics or EMT (Emergency Medical Technicians). If you really want to know more, try watching the TV series Saved on TNT (Mon. @ 10 PM).
EMTs and Paramedics.EMTs can function in the back of an ambulance by themselves. Paramedics require more training and can do more advanced and invasive procedures.EMTs can handle any and all emergencies, Paramedics augment that care. If no Paramedics are available, EMTs can still handle the situation, just not with more advanced skills.
An EMT- Basic is the person that usually drives the ambulance and assists with injuries and illnesses. People certified at the B level cannot perform certain procedures; however, they can and do take blood pressures, temps, assist with IV set up, and are generally responsible for cleanups, etc. Each state is different, and there are different regulations on what an EMT - B can do in each state. An EMT - Basic+ has gone to a class to learn to start IV lines in people. With this license, you have to do a clinical in a hospital or on the ambulance, and you usually have to get 30 or more successful sticks before they consider you EMTB+. An EMT - Intermediate is a little more qualified to perform procedures and in some cities, an EMT - I and an EMT - B are the ones operating the ambulance, but again, that depends on the state and what they allow EMT - Intermediates to do. In most states, they are allowed to drop IV's, start certain medications and other things.An EMT - Paramedic is licensed to do anything. This is the highest level of the Emergency Medical Technician, and most degrees take 2 years, and when you are done, you will be awarded with an AAS in Paramedicine. The NREMT, or National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, is a registry that allows an EMT to work in any state that accepts NREMT status. Good luck!
they're called paramedics and good luck.I really admire your enthusiasm!
Paramedics or EMTs - most community collegs have medic or EMT training. You can also contact your local Medic squad and request to do a 'ride-along' - that way you really see if that's what you want to do - b/c it can get super gruesome - you'd be amazed at how the human body can break/bend/contort in extreme environments. Good luck to you!

Emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and Paramedics. If you want to get into this line of work you need to be trained as an EMT, after you can work on an ambulance. When you want to you can go to paramedic school, and be trained to do more. To find a place to get training, talk to your local community college. If they do not offer an EMT class, goggle EMT training along with your state, and you should find a website for someone who offers EMT training. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
