Jobs available to EMT qualified personnel, not in EMS.

[Super Delegate]

I was just wondering what jobs there are out there for EMT qualified folks that are not limited to riding in the ambulance. I know of flight medics and other wilderness or military type versions of the job. But there must be a lot of different options. What have you heard about, anything interesting?

Most large companies contract security agencies that hire EMT's.

I know many many compaines that contract to NREMT-P's to do work overseas. Military experience is preferred only for the ones going out as a team. They still need P's that can sit at a little makeshift clinic/hospital.

Big money.

what about search and rescue? Do they have a want/need for EMTs?

Yes, they do. With the exception of the National Park Service, Search & Rescue tends to be volunteer.

It also takes a long time to get on a SAR 'A' team. Lots of training with the crew and watching them go out and do searches before they will let you participate. At least in my experience. Not a bad thing at all, just not something you can dive headfirst into and expect to be out there on a team.
