AMR offers a unique opportunity for individuals interested in a rewarding career in pre‑hospital medicine.

The EMT Academy is a rigorous 8–12 week program offered throughout the year, which qualifies the employee to take the NREMT exam. There is no cost for the class, and all books, tuition, fees and uniforms will be paid by AMR. Upon successful completion of the class, all tests and state certification, the employee will be supported in their application for an EMT position at AMR.
