I can find lots of people asking but very few answers... How can I get registered with the NREMT as a Canadian Advanced Care Paramedic? The NREMT was unable to answer my questions as they say I need to take an American course to become State Registered. Ive already done the schooling and am registered in Alberta, Canada. Is there any schools in the US that helps out International Paramedics with achieving registration?
