South-West Pennsylvania EMS and Medic school q's

[bunkie]

Can anyone speak for EMS on the western (particularly south-west, pittsburgh and south of the pitts area) area of PA? Also does anyone know the requirements for medic school in PA? I tried doing a search, tried searching the google and can not find what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.

The Center in Pittsburgh is the best http://www.centerem.com/ although it is expensive.

There is also Penn State Fayette in Uniontown, about an hour southeast of Pittsburgh http://www.fe.psu.edu/CE/23278.htm

Hope this helps

Other Options

You can go to the Center if you want to pay big $$$$ and graduate with a god like attitude...

Other options are Community College of Allegheny County (www.ccac.edu) or

Butler County Community College (www.bc3.edu)

both graduate solid street medics...

Uniontown is actually my neighborhood. Thank you! Though I notice they dont have a link of pre-reqs for medic. I guess I can try to call someone tomorrow. I appreciate the help.

So the ego the size of PA is actually issued with their diploma? Wasn't sure, I know enough of their graduates, and it does fit.

There was not any requirements, apart from having a PA EMT certification. They even take out of state but you have to arrange insurance and clinicals.
