You were out in 4 hours doing both medical and psych?

Also, what does the medical entail? The letter barely gave any info.
Am I going to have to do the stair climb again because it told me to wear workout clothes

Ah sorry didn't see you have it same day. Psych took about 3 hours and medical was 4 hours
 
No doubt.
Has anyone ever had them both scheduled for same day? Seems pretty ridiculous with how long they take.

Also, am I allowed to wear workout shorts? Letter says I should wear workout shorts/sweats, then right after in paranthesis says "no shorts"

You don't do the stair climb during medical that's just for fire, medical and psych is professional attire

That's how I thought I was supposed to dress for the medical but for some reason my letter says to wear workout clothes. Just like it did for my physical

I'm looking at my medical letter now and it says to wear fitness clothes and sneakers for the stairmill. Did anyone else have to do the stairmill for their medical?
 
You need to call your investigator. You won't be able to pull off the psych and medical the same day. I think you were sent a letter in error, you do not so the stair master for the medical. Sounds like you got a fire letter. The medical consists of the following:
Vitals, blood draw, hearing, vision, pulmonary, chest X-ray, any other X-rays doc deems necessary based on past injuries, visit with the doctor.

Thanks. My letter says it's for EMT but I'm definitely going to contact my investigator about it

Is psychological screening the same as psychological exam? Because my medical letter says "full medical examination and psychological screening"

With the medical, if you're considered overweight and have to comeback to reweigh, do you have to do the whole medical process again or they just check your weight and that's it?

I had to do it as well. You only go back to do the reweigh. See the nurse, go to the vital station, get weighed, bring the letter over to the nurse, go to the doctor, and then see the nurse one last time.

When you do the medical there is a time they have you fill out some questions on the computer with some psych questions. Unless they changed it the only psych you're doing is the 500ish questions you do in the auditorium with the scantron

Thanks.
Hopefully those who've recently taken their medical can chime in on if there is a new process now

AM is tour 2 from 0700-1500, PM is tour 3 1500/1530-2300ish I think. I'm in tour 2 and during the refresher portion 90% of us got there at 6am for the review session, since then I've been getting there around 0630 for 0700 roll call. AM does PT at the end of our day and PM does it at the beginning. Since I've only done tour 2 I can't really give you much info on tour 3 but it basically just comes down to preference

Can anyone just give a quick explanation on AM & PM class. The times you start, how early you got there, and any pro or con with one over the other?

I'm in the current academy class tour 3...during the refresher portion it's 15:30-23:30. Do not be late. The drill instructors don't take any crap. If one person out of 75 does something wrong they'll have you doing push ups for a long time. They're really hard on everybody for the first few weeks about uniforms and shaving but they relax as time goes on. The refresher quizzes and tests are easy, the instructors are great. They go over each quiz right before you take it so you'll always be prepared. PT isn't everyday. You'll get a schedule..I've probably done about 8-9 PT days and I have 4 weeks left. After refresher when you break into squads to do EVOC, scenarios, ops, rotations and hazmat the time changes from 1500-2300. Definitely pick tour 3 if you get the option it's a lot more laid back. Good luck
 
Can someone clarify when the FDNY EMT opening comes out on DCAS? September 6th right?

Hey I took exam 7000 and my list number is low 400's. I took everything (physical, Medical, psychological) ..... haven't heard anything after that. Have you?

Is anybody from exam 7000 in the academy?

I don't believe anyone from 7000 is in the academy currently. Maybe the next academy this year will have 7000. People on here would have a better idea

As it's been explain before and will be explained again, it's all a waiting game. You haven't heard anything cause there's simply nothing for you to hear, there's a class in the academy now that doesn't graduate until the end of September. It took me personally about 6 months after finishing everything to get called, I was finished and wasn't called for the following class 3 months later.

Just stay out of trouble and be patient. The less you hear the better, don't bother your investigator if something is wrong they will contact you. Your next contact should be a call asking if you're still interested in the position yada yada...
