I got certified in 2009 as an EMT-Basic in Texas. I am currently getting my bachelor's degree, but once I graduate, I want to go on to paramedic school and become a full time paramedic.
Because of school, I haven't worked as an EMT, but I have been volunteering as a standby for sports and other events.
I want to move to Colorado after I graduate (I am graduating in May 2012), by which time my certification in Texas will expire.
So my question is- should I just let it expire and start over (will the training in the two states differ?) or should I take steps to transfer my certification from Texas to Colorado and then do paramedic school in Colorado?
Also, I have checked into the accredited paramedic programs in Colorado, but does anyone have any personal experience with any of them? I was looking specifically at the programs in Denver, but am willing to go wherever.
