Hi all.
I am going to be a new EMT-B this summer, and would like to put my skills to work next summer. I had done research this summer and during the year, and I would like to work as an EMT-B to gain more clinical experience before I go to med school. I will work as a volunteer for my campus BLS service during the year.
I also wanted to go abroad (most likely to England) next summer, and I thought it would be a great idea to combine EMT and studying abroad. Have any of you guys tried doing this? Any advice? Is this a feasible goal, or will reciprocity be too much of a hassle?
Also, I've looked into trying to work as an EMT-B in other states (I live in Texas), and quite a few have certain requirements that will make reciprocity not worth it for only working for a summer. I will be National Registry certified--are there certain states that will accept that and not require you to take additional classes and all that?
Thanks!
