I live in San Bernardino. I work for camps and operate as a "Wilderness EMT". I also use my training as a volunteer for public disaster preparedness/training. Most ambulance agencies, like AMR, wouldn't recognize my "wilderness" training or care one whit about it (other than the continuing...

Not if I'm already taking a couple weeks off to go drive out to Michigan and back. The only AEMT psychomotor tests that I can find are up around San Francisco.

What's the point in taking the class if you're not going to also take the test? You can sign up to take the written test anywhere, anytime, but you can only find the AEMT skills (psychomotor) test a few places. If they aren't going to schedule their class to coincide with a local test (or...

Look at the books. They're pretty much all teaching the same stuff. The differences can be found in the instructors. Don't just look at instructor certs, like years of experience, certifications, etc., you have to look at how well they relate to people, etc. Being an instructor for those...

Generally, the better you are and the more you know your stuff, the more it'll seem to you like the new people who don't know anything are complete noobs who are completely unprepared. This is true for every class, for every training scenario, in every walk of life. The only difference are...

I recommend doing what I did. I scheduled my NREMT cognitive test for the day after the class was done. I took it, passed, and the next week for our class "graduation", out of perhaps 100 people I was one of six people who did the exact same thing and were able to say that we were actually...

Thanks for the response. My mistake, I thought MI was Minnesota, but it's actually Michigan. Anyway, 3w's dot wildmed dot com/wilderness-medical-courses/medical-professionals/advancedemtw-12-day-hybrid/course-2671.php shows that Northern Cairn hosts the Wilderness Medical Associates Int. WAEMT...

Anyone know any AEMT bootcamps for EMT's? I'm looking for a real "bootcamp", an all day every day for a couple weeks program (probably with mandatory pre-program online learning). I can take a couple weeks off work for that, but I have little hope that there will be a regular course near me...
