AMR Employment Exam?

[VAO]

Does anyone know anything about the exam that AMR (American Medical Response) requires potential employees to take? I am taking it this month and was wondering if someone knew a little more about it? Written or Practical or both? Any info would help.

Thanks

Where are you testing at? Most sites use the national "Corporate" test which isn't too difficult but some have elected to use their own local test.

I am testing in Connecticut. Do you know is it written or practical or both. Similar to NREMT or state exams?

I don't know for sure if they are using the standard test or not. You can contact alison at this email address; she should be able to tell you if their using the corporate test or not. alison.tolisano@amir.net

I'm pretty sure that if you are prepared for the national registry test that you should do well on our corporate test.

Thanks for the info. So it is just a written exam then?

If it's the national process it will start with a "day in the life" video then the written exam followed by an interview.

I took the AMR test a couple weeks ago. There were a few questions that had to do with child birth and intubation, which I wasn't really expecting since the intubation is outside my protocols in my county. The majority of the test was situational.

It really depends per county. My county in Sacramento, I had to do a written test (the questions are from NR) a practical exam, and then after that I had my oral interview. After I passed my oral interview, I had to do a physical with the doctor, drug test, and had to do a strength test. I heard it wasn't hard, but it was 120 pounds! Thats basically lifting my body weight so it was a hard for me The other stuff though, (practical and written) were pretty smiple! Good luck!
