American Medical Academy - Y/N?

[ahernandez14]

23 year old female looking to start a career in EMT. Currently living in Miami.

Is the AMA any good? Haven't heard anything about them?

What is the cost? There's nothing online.

What school is AMA? (what does it stand for)

Side note: In the EMS world, AMA stands for Against Medical Advice.

If there website has stats from 2011, I would be suspect.... As for pricing, I assume this is a paramedic program?

Ah yeah i didnt see OP wasnt EMT yet

holy crap you could pay for 1 year of PA school with that!

That price is a joke right? You can take a 6 week EMT course at a junior college for the cost of credits

I just recently saw an emt program for 30k.

Go to a community college. Here locally you can go for about $900 for emtb

Why would you pay 30k to get paid 11 dollars an hour?

Here in Florida EMT takes 5 months, at least in Central FL.
