Hey all!

My boyfriend and I are both Firefighter/AEMT's in Michigan. We are both taking paramedic starting this September and are hoping to get the heck outta dodge afterwards.

Looking at the Pacific Northwest and somewhere in Eastern Canada. We both have experience in Fire and EMS but will be relatively new paramedics.

Michigan is our home and we are sad to leave but we really need to go somewhere more progressive and better for our careers. I'm also an EMS instructor so I'm hoping to keep that going.

Any ideas?

RachZem, you might want to explore the differences between Canadian and US EMS. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure Canada requires their paramedics to have lots more schooling.

Also, having relocated from one part of the US to another, I can tell you that your instructor credentials, if any, from your current location may not be all that you'll need to teach somewhere else right away. There's also something to be said for gaining experience in a new system before trying to teach others about it.
