Thats a good thing in california. I understand in the west that training to be an emt is different. However medical school is to become a physician. You probably meant, EMT school then paramedic school.

[SicSkatez]

hmm actually i think its different here in california...a ged or high school diploma is required =/ then medical school THEN paramedic....oh well..

[jmm121884]

paramedics dont need to finish high school either. you just need to be at least 18 and goto Medic School as far as I know... About a year program. Some community colleges you can get an associates degree I believe in 2 years to be a medic,and that would require a ged or high school diploma.
