New guy with relocation questions

[Trevor]

Hi everyone! I'm a 27 y/o from AR and Ive admittedly been lingering for weeks.

I'm interested in going to school for EMT-P, but the fiance wants to move back home to AK next Spring (which doesn't give me time to enroll and complete schooling here before we move).

Is anyone familiar with the EMT card being transferable, or should I wait til the move to begin schooling? I'd imagine I couldn't simply transfer between semesters. I've read that EMT-B are a dime a dozen, but paramedics are needed there. Could anyone confirm this?

I'm in Little Rock, and we are moving to Anchorage.

I think the Alaska office of EMS could help you with at least part of your question. I'm sure they could point you in the direction of a paramedic program as well.

There's a lot of things I miss about living in Alaska. There are a lot of things I don't miss. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks! I'll give them a call tonight.

The Alaska State Department of Health might be able to answer some questions too. Never been to Alaska...dying to go there someday )
