The EKG/12-Lead EKG Masterclass:

This video explains how to get started working on the ambulance service (EMS) and describes the ranks and certification levels of the NREMT. I recommend skipping EMR and jumping right into EMT school as this is true “entry-level” position in a paid ambulance position.

Once you gain field experience, working your way from IFT (inter-facility transport) to getting 911 field experience you make the decision whether you want to go to AEMT or Paramedic school to increase your skills, and salary in EMS.

The benefits of becoming a paramedic include increased salary, more job opportunities, higher responsibility and leadership on EMS scenes and increased training opportunities such as becoming a community paramedic, tactical paramedic or flight/critical care paramedic. But before we jump to paramedic school we need to get field experience and have a solid foundation with basic life support care and ambulance operations.

I hope this video gives you some insight into the schooling and daily life of working as an EMR, EMT, AEMT or Paramedic! On this channel, I help EMS students prepare for school, pass school and pass NREMT exams. Join us for a lesson!

Be great,

Evan, The Paramedic Coach

  2. I’m a firefighter and becoming an EMR is part of the process by which you get promoted from firefighter to engineer which entitles a small raise.

  3. As someone without a drivers license, is there a place for me in emergency response? I am interested in emt but unsure if it’s possible without being able to drive
