Is it possible to work as an EMT during the summer?
Asked by .
I'm a college student and I'm thinking of getting certified so that I could work over the summer. Can you be employed as an EMT for such a limited amount of time?
Could I volunteer during school?

The answer to your question is definitely YES! Here in Los Angeles, most ambulance companies have a very high turnover rate and that really has to do with the working conditions and the pay. As a result of the high turnover rate, there are multiple opportunities to work a summer, part-time position with a company.
If you are considering making this a career, I would suggest that you work for a 911 provider rather than a transfer company. Get as much experience as you can and ask your local paramedics questions and they should be willing to help you in your quest.
Good luck!!
