CA EMT-B to TN - EMT (B or IV)

[matthewspear]

Hi all,

Looking to move from LA County to a small town in TN. I want to get my EMT certs out there, and while I've read the reciprocity requirements, I'm not sure that I understand them all.


Also - is there any kind of bridge class from B to IV?



Just wondering if someone could help out! Thanks.

Unfortunately there aren't many ways to do this. Your best bet is to call the community colleges and see if you can pay them to teach a bridge course. EMT IV in TN is closer to the NREMT I. We are transitioning to theAEMT within the next two years. This will mean you will have EMR EMT AEMT and paramedic. You will need to be at least an AEMT to work on a truck in most services.
