Hey y'all,
I'm an EM resident and was an EMT-B in years past. Life changed and I let my cert expire, but since starting residency have really gotten interested in EMS again and would like to resurrect it in my career status post acquisition of the MD degree. Any thoughts on if it's possible for an MD to challenge the national registry exam for paramedic? What are the rules about MDs practicing in the field? If I want to work in EMS again (NOT as a medical director but actually out there running calls) do I have to go through the whole rigamarole (sp?) of EMT class and then paramedic class?
Thanks for any insight anyone out there might have on this situation...
