What kind of jobs can you get with an EMT-B cert.? I know private ambulance but is there anything else?

I know most EMT-B's work for private ambulance companies but is there anything else, that having this cert. can offer you in the job market?

If you are resourceseful you can definetly use your experience for other jobs.
Sales in medical
Health and safety, of course with some added education
contract EMT (Set Medic)
Workmans Compensation Evaluator/Investigator
ER Tech
Surgical Tech
First Aid Instructor
Lifeguard
Firefighter
Technical Writer, (odd but found it on Craigslist)
dispatcher

But I have to stress, limiting yourself to just EMT will not get you anywhere. Continued education is key to landing these types of jobs. Putting your time in as an EMT, not only as a "taxi" EMT but in real 911 provider ambulances will develop your skills and make you decisive decision maker.

At some, but not all hospitals, an EMT-B certification allows you to work in the hospital emergency room as a tech. A tech does basic tasks that don't require higher certification like vital signs, etc. Look on hospital websites in your area and see what openings they have in the ER, and what qualifications they are looking for.

most emt jobs are only ambulance.. unless you have emt-p then you can work in hospitals and on trauma helicopters... i am in tennessee and they do not recognize the emt-b as a level.. here we are licensed as emt-iv, and the only job we can get is on an ambulance, unless we have an rn to go along with the emt-iv, then we can work on a helicopter.... good luck in the job hunt!!!
