Either- if they are required to be paramedics for dispatch I would be interested in those places as well.

And thank you, all of you!!

Fair question. I am legit and all I am looking for is names of agencies that I could talk to. Austin is am agency that requires EMT's for dispatch. I am not saying that is good or bad, but trying to get different perspectives. There may be no story here, but right now I am looking.

I am an EMT A in Memphis and also a freelance writer. In my research I found that in order to be an EMS dispatcher for Austin-Travis County EMS, one must be at least an EMT-B and then one obtains his or her EMD after being hired.

Is this a common requirement? If not, do you know any other agencies who require dispatchers to first obtain their EMT certification? Possible article in this!

Thanks
