Good evening,
I'm a 25 year old Industrial Engineer from Lebanon. I've been a volunteer for the Lebanese Red Cross as an EMT and have an experience of more than 2000 hours in dealing with trauma and medical patients (started since 2015). I have done my EMT-B Test within the Lebanese Red Cross supervision, and took a continuious education program developed by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT), the Pre-hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS).
I am reconsidering a change in my career, and thinking about working in an medical sector.
My questions are the following:
- Is my volunteering experience considered if I ever applied to a job outside lebanon?
- Do I have to take a 3 year bachelor degree to become a certified EMT in another country?
- Is there a possibility to use my experience in another country?
- What do i have options in order to become a paramedic in the following countries? ( Europe - Canada - USA - Australia or New Zealand)
- Do all paramedic schools require huge tuition fees for international students?
I hope someone can provide me with information regarding these questions
And thank you!
