# of nationally registered EMT-Bs

[haywood415]

I am just wondering if anyone has any idea approximately how many EMT-Bs are registered with NREMT currently....i was discussing this with a buddy of mine in class and we had no idea.

 

[EMSLaw]

Lots? Not a precise answer, so maybe check the NREMT website or call them up and ask.

i was just screwing around on the NREMT website and couldnt find anything relevant. ill keep looking and asking and if i find an approximae number, ill report back.

Go to the NR website and check in annual reports.

 

[medichopeful]

A lot.

Find someone there that just recieved their cert. Look at the number, that will be close to the final total!

 

[TransportJockey]

Too many

Isn't California one of those states that requires NREMT for initial licensure, then you can let it lapse when you renew and carry just your state cert?

 

[ollie]

yea your right, but its tough finding jobs out here and the funny thing is theres more people in california than there is registered emts/ paramedics
