Hello all!
Today, I just found out that EMS exists in airplanes, and I am extremely interested and excited by this idea! I've always loved being on airplanes and learning about them, just about as much as I love EMS, so combining the two is almost a life dream! Don't judge me for not knowing about this, also, as I'm still new to EMS!
I'm reading more about how to get into air ambulances (either on a helicopter or an airplane), and "flight paramedic" (FP-C or CCEMTP) keeps coming up in my searches.
As I said above, I am new to EMS. I am still in basic training right now (finish Dec. 11th) so I don't know a whole lot about anything past EMT-Basic. Does anybody have any information on being a flight paramedic? How do you become one? Is there a special school for them? Or do they have accredited programs throughout the country? Is this remotely military-related? How much experience as an EMT-Basic would I have to have to become one? Or would I have to be an EMT-Paramedic first?
Any information relating to flight medics would be awesome, as I am extremely interested in doing this!
