Can an ambulance officer become a paramedic?
The requirements necessary to obtain a paramedic license vary by state, but individuals usually must complete a certificate or degree program in paramedical or emergency medicine. To qualify for admission to these programs, individuals must typically have basic and intermediate emergency medical technician (EMT) licensing; therefore, an ambulance officer who has the necessary EMT licensing is most likely to qualify for paramedic training courses.Source:U.S.
