Reserve EMS program in Southern California

Going to apply as well, how tough is it to get onto their reserves?
 
Reserves must pass a written exam, skills exam, and oral interview. There is also the standard pre-employment physical and drug screen.

MBA is a very reputable service with many great paramedics to learn from. they have ALOT of very good traumas and with the medicals you may be with your patient for over an hour. ICEMA has very liberal protocols with extensive standing orders. I do not recall there being reserves in the past so there may be some budget issues they are trying to account for. IF you are in the area and want to VOLUNTEER your time, this may be something to look into.

disclosure: I do not currently nor have I ever worked for MBA or any other service in the ICEMA region.

The reserve program was created to provide a pool of qualified candidates to hire from, as well as provide an increased depth of resources, and provide an opportunity to gain experience in a tight job market. Reserve units do not replace the regular paid units that we deploy daily.

Keep in mind that the reserve employees frequently get at least part-time paid positions fairly quickly if they meet the standards.
