Pennsylvania reciprocity

[djmedic913]

ok, ok...so I am have succumbed to all the pressure about NJ.

So here is my newest question:

I used to have an EMT-Basic card in PA, but I let that lapse.
Now I am a paramedic.

Does anyone have information on reciprocity to PA?
Who do I contact?
How long does it take to get the reciprocity?
etc.

Go to EHSF.org... under Education.... click on Reciprocity.... as far as I know... there is no testing involved.

I know for EMT's who have expired... all you have to do is complete 24hrs of con-ed online through the LMS system.

Depends which Emergency Health Services council you're working under.

It doesn't matter which Regional EMS Council you get the information from... its the State Dept of Health policy.

You only have to advise your home region when apply for the reciprocity... your home region will be where you live in PA or if not residing in PA, the region of your employer.
