How to obtain a basic EMT certification?

Can you obtain EMT certification in new Jersey with a terminal illness?

  • Answer:

    If you are in class, yes you will be able to become certified however you may not be able to work if the job requires a physical and they discover your illness. Most jobs do not do physicals. Even fire departments usually don't do an in depth physical. Should you work as an EMT? You should ask your doctor that. My friend's mitral valve is so bad that he'll probably die within the next ten years and he still works as an EMT.
