Hi I'm a paramedic from the Israel army. I am Being released very soon and I was wondering if America recongnizes me as a licensed paramedic. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on your education & training levels whether you would qualify to challenge the national registry for Paramedic certification in the US.

Most States now use national registry as the testing agency.

Your best bet is to first obtain national registry credentials. They allow reciprocity on a case by case basis. The policy is linked here: https://www.nremt.org/nremt/downloads/International%20Policy.pdf

You will likely have to take the psychomotor and cognitive tests regardless.

Once you have registry, you will be better able to license in a state. You will have to contact the specific state EMS board for details. You can easily find that information with a quick Google search.

Finally, you will need to go through all the immigration issues and obtain the proper visas. You'll have to do some leg work and find that information on your own as I'm not qualified to discuss immigration in any detail.
