First you have to become an EMT-basic.  After that, you  can go to medic school.  Check with your local community colleges.  They normally offer EMT and Paramedic classes.  Also, check with your local fire departments.  They may be medics, and they are definetly EMT-B so they should be able to point you towards a school.  EMT school isn't too tough, but you're in for a year to 18 months of difficult school to become a paramedic.  You'll have to study hard and really apply yourself.  Good luck to you!

You will need to get training and certification from the appropriate organization (YMCA, Red Cross, etc...).\nYou will need training and certification in First Aid, Adult Child and Infant CPR.  You may even need a WSI certification.\n\nYour potential employers will more accurately tell you what they will require you to have.\n\nAlso, you need ot be a pretty strong swimmer to begin with.

You can't even teach P.E. without going through teacher certification for your state.\n\nPick the job you want, THEN pick the major to go with it.

It depends on what area that you want to get into. If you want to be a regular peace officer you can apply to a big city PD and they will send you to their academy or you can go to one of the local colleges that have a continuing education coarse to become a peace officer. If you want to be a highway patrolman you can apply to them and get accepted then go to their school. I think the very first step that you need to do is call your local police department and ask them if they have a C.O.P. program. That stands for citizens on patrol. That way you can ride along with a peace officer for a few nights just to see how to do things and if the job is right for you. If you have already taken the state approved tests you can offer your services as a reserve officer. You won't get paid but you will get to do everything that a peace officer does and earn you a spot at the police department.

Depending on your local EMS, but most states require you to be 18. You don't need a high school diploma but you will have a hard time getting hired besides the interfacility companys. You can take the EMT course you just can't be certified by your state. Don't be discouraged, being an EMT is a great stepping stone to any career. It shows responsibility, ability to handle stress, dependability, and maturity to be able to handle emergency situations.

In Florida you go to Fire College, then sit for state boards. If you pass your boards, you can start applying to various departments. Some departments want firefighters to also be EMTs. Good luck!\n\nPS Are you prepared for the 24 hour shifts? If you are the kind of person who can't function after 20 hours with no rest, this is not the field for you.

This is what you need to do.\n\n1) In high school, take all the college prep courses, especially the science and math courses. You have to be good at these subjects, or choose another career.\n\n2) Four years of Pre-Med, with emphasis on a bachelor's degree in bilogy, or chemistry.\n\n3)If you are fortunate enough to get accepted into med-school, you have 4 years of hard work studying the general  aspects of medicine and general surgery.\n\n4) After you get your MD's degreeyou will have to pass a medical board to practice medicine as an intern in a hospital. After the one year internship is over, you can opt to become a generalpractioner, if that is your fancy. \n\n5) If you want to be a specialist in a medical field, such as internal medicine, you have a 3-5 year residency at a hospital, before you can get board certified in your area of specialization.

You should be over age 21, no record of domestic violence, no felonies, clean driving record, no assault convicitons. Have good eyesight and hearing. Ability to run, climb, etc. Weight in proportion to height. No psychiatric illness. Decent credit record. You can take criminal justice courses at college. You can contact the academy in the state you want to work in and ask about putting yourself through pre-service program (pay your own way to become POST certified). Being POST certified makes you a better hiring candidate.  Starting out as a dispatcher can be good (you'll become certified for that too). Dispatching isn't easy though, so don't think of it as "the bottom:".  It's high stress and you MUST be able to multi-task to a high degree. Otherwise you need to be able to keep your cool, handle stress and confrontation, deal with mess (dead bodies, feces, vomit, all that fun stuff) and have good common sense. POST stands for Peace Officers Standards and Training. There should be a POST in your state.  If you want to work and train in another state go to their POST website and academy website.  There are also pre-service programs for dispatchers.

you have to got class for a long time for anything medical, so forget it\n\nactually, it depends on what kind of medical you are talking about..but if you are in high school, no technical school certificate will let you get a "hands on medical" experience that would lead to a degree. you have to go to medical school.\n\nunless you are talking about....ummm...maybe some kind of assistant job (no degree) like in surgery or as a lab tech, or something minor.\n\nthey won't hire just anyone into a real medical field unless you have been in college for a long time, and have a degree.

do you mean a Sergeant? like in the police? or a surgeon like as in a doctor in a hospital. if it a police then u need to finish high school and go to through a bootcamp type of training to become a regular police officer and work your way up.\n\n if you want to become a hospital surgeon then u have ur work cut out for u. study every single day when your in high schools read some biology, chemistry and physics textbooks and calculus books for fun. Take AP biology, chemistry, calculus, and physics in high school. its never too early to get started. this is an ultra competitive field. ALSO see if you can volunteer in a hospital since you cannot work yet. \n\nbecoming a surgeon is dedicating your life to helping other and being able to handle the pressure of constantly expecting to be correct. im studying for pre-med now and i kinda burned out. I chose to switch to an easier field (which is everything else lols).  it is hard to have the level of commitment needed to become a doctors and not many people appreciate your efforts so you have to motivate yourself and make sure you love science. it is not abnormal to spend weeks at a time not speaking to anyone, or moving from a desk. just sitting everyday every hour with your science textbooks. \n\nBecoming a surgeon is a great goel but not everyone is smart enough. make sure you are smart and hardworking enough first by getting top grades in your school. Surgeons can't make mistakes.

There is a massive nurse shortage in the UK.  If you became a nurse it would afford you much oppurtunity.  Many people leave the country if they can pay for it because there isn't enough nurses.  Nurses work all sorts of shift so you there would be a good chance that you could find one that fits you perfectly.  Also a nurse gets the chance to study different forms of medicine from working with old or very young to even learning the world of surgery and become a medical techinical field.  A paramedic does have its perks but I would sugguest becoming a nurse.  The choice is and always will be in your hands.  Good luck.

I don't know any schools in your area but I have some info that might help.\n\nCheck the local hospitals as they might have a school there as well as the local technical colleges. \n\n Besides from the grades, you need a background in chemistry and anatomy.  So if you don't have those classes you should take them before you can even get into the program.  You also need to have experience in hospital setting and if that means volunteering at hospitals or old age homes, get out and do it.  The more you have the better they will look at you.\n\nIn my area, the wait list is about 2 years long to get into the program and you have to have prereqs done before you can even apply to get onto the wait list.  \n\nWhen you find the school you'd like to attend they should have a course guideline that will tell you the classes you need to finish your degree.\n\nHope this link helps.\n\nGood luck in your career change.

I used to be a fireman. Most states have a Public Safety Training Center where any volunteer fireman can take classes. I would recommend: Basic Firefighter, CPR, First Responder, Pumper Operations, Hazmat / Chemical Fire Control and Vehicle Extraction. It is very time consuming. Fires always happen at the most in oppurtune times. Brush fires and forest fires are a pain in the ass and hard work. You will go to more accidents than fires. \nCar wrecks can be traumatizing. Being a fireman is not a hobby.\nTake the job and the responsibility seriously. It can cost you your life and quite possibly someone elses. It is a rewarding experience. I recommend it if you have the time.

Go to the Human Resources in the hospital of your choice and tell them you would like to volunteer.  They will point you in the right direction.  Hospitals always need volunteers as they are usually understaffed.
