thanks UGLyEMT (silly) while waiting for someone to reply to my inquiry, i patiently searched the net about it and the EMT and how to go about it. i visited this website http://www.clatsopcollege.com/Programs/index.html it was explained well enough. but you explained better! it's like i have to send to WES my transcripts from my med school here to have it validated and sorts like that. it's a long process. but i know it's worth it just in case. you were right. start from the basic EMT and work my way up to paramedic. response well appreciated! thanks a bunch!!!

hi everyone! im 28yo from Phils. fresh grad Apr 2009 -college of medicine , had 1 year internship after, in a government hospital here. Currently reviewing for the Philippine Licensure Exam to be taken on Feb 2011. I was wondering if i could apply as an EMT in Portland, Oregon (where i could stay with my relatives there) do i have to undergo a few more years of EMT education like the college years after high school? or i should apply for the EMT CERTIFICATION which will require 1 or 2 years of tra ining then i can instantly apply to any institution catering EMT? do i have to go through the basic..intermediate.. then paramedic level or i can train straight to emt-paramedics for 1-2 years then take the exam for certification approval? im really confused. please help! i really dont have any idea of how to go about it. thanks!
