Transfering Israel Certification to NYS

[Josh5879]

Hi I'm a student studying in Jerusalem , Israel. I'm in middle of an EMT course given by Magen David Adom. We should be finished in about 3 weeks.

My question is, does any one know of any way I can tranfer the certification to New York State.I would like to work as an EMT when I get back home.

Thank you very much.

I would encourage you to contact the NY State Office of Emergency Medical Services to find out more about certification & reciprocity for those certified outside of NY. Good Luck!

Continuing on 1EMT-Ps suggestion, here is the link to the New York State Department of Health -Bureau of Emergency Medical Services.

They could always use a good EMS provider in Israel. The carnage and insanity they see in some of those areas makes the ghettos of NYC, LA, and Chicago seem like a walk in the park.

I met a couple medics from Israel years ago and the stories they told me of what they deal with were incredible. I imagine it's only gotten worse there.

Good luck in your career, Josh. The suggestions made above will help you.
