RT to Paramedic?

[Wildercase]

I am looking for any Paramedic bridge programs that accept RT's? I am currently a FFI and EMT-B, and halfway through my RT program. I would like to be able to bridge to medic once I'm done with RT school.

Any ideas??

Thanks!!

Isn't RT a degree program with higher pay?

Unless your heart is really in EMS I don't see why you would take a step down.

Check with your state regulations to see if RRT qualifies you to challenge it. It's highly unlikely you will find a bridge for it.

We had a RRT in your last Paramedic cycle that grew bored of RT work 2 years after getting his. He was going FireMedic instead also.
