Co-Op EMT

[mrbrownmarc]

Well my uncle is a EMT and I liked what he does. Well I was just wondering since I am only 15 when I turn 17 and start to co-op can I co-op under EMS?

I don't know what co-op is? But, most states require one to be eligible for certification or license to be at least the age of 18, as well most professional services one to be at least 21 to 23 years of age to operate emergency vehicles.

Good luck, and explore your options and schooling.

I'm not sure what co-op means in this context. Some states let you take an EMT class when you're 16, so I'd look into your state's rules.

PS: It's really cool that you're into EMS at age 15.

Try an Explorer Post

Try to find an explorer post in your area, it may be your best bet for now

Co-op means to be in school for a certain amount of time then leave to go to a job.

There is another idea to look into,try joining a medical explorer post in your area. I was a member of one that was sponsored by the local medic service,I learned alot from it.
