Thankfully this is a completely hypothetical question. I'm not moving and I'm not even in school. This is basically a question from my wife. What would happen if you were in medic school and had to quit and move out of state? Assuming they were two states with similar requirements, is there any way to essentially transfer your "credits" from the old program to the new program?

My first reaction was that you probably would have to start over from scratch but wow that would suck.

I didn't do it DURING exactly, but yea trying to transfer credits sucks. Most schools will give you a couple, but require you to retake the majority of the classes over again, if not all of them over
 
It might be easier if you were attending a Community College and transferred to another, they tend to try harder to transfer credits. Private schools are notoriously picky on the receiving end and downright difficult on the sending end.

CC's try, but usually it's the EMS dept that says no. Tried to transfer from a CC in NM to the CC down by my apt up here and was told no.
 
You'd have a tough time trying to transfer credits from one Community College EMS program to another. I spent some time when I was in Michigan looking, and I couldn't find a single college that would accept another college's EMS courses. They'd take the standards like Biology, A&P, AHA CPR, but not EMS credits.
 
How frustrating. I really hate how schools of higher learning overcomplicate everything.
 
$$$$$
 
I don't think any paramedic training program will let you come in the middle of the program from another school. All respectable schools have certain expectations from their medic interns and want to make sure they are up to par troughout the whole program.
