im not sure about that field ... but what i can tell u is that after you are working at that, be sure to ask ur superiors how to document it because just knowing how do do a job and perrforming that job in the military does NOT make you certified ... you have to actively pursue that.

EMT certification is state by state. There is what is called a National Registry test that most states will accept as proven competency in the field (some may require written test, others skills test, others automatic certification, some require their specific courses. Check with the state you want to be an EMT in.). An EMT-B course can run anywhere from 1 month to a year depending on intesity. Most EMT-P require EMT-B certifcation and 1 or more years additional training, again, depending intesity.

You can get Doctoral degrees while in the Navy. Of course you can get an EMT certificate. Of course you will have to work around the needs of the service. If you are on the beach it will be a lot more simple than on a ship.

All the branches that have medics now teach to the National Registry standards. The Army has the 91W which is the EMT and they must maintain NREMT cert their whole time in or get reclassified.
Navy shouldn't be a problem cause their course for corpsman meets or exceeds the requirements for EMT and for Paramedic.
Get all the education you can because depending on what state you live in, can make a good living with that red, white and blue card in your wallet.
I got my EMT in 78, Intermediate in 82, paramedic in 90. Life is good and so is the money.

I dont think you should have any problems at all.
I do not know if things work the same now days, but I took some courses while in the Navy.
request information from the United States Armed Forces Institute, or U.S.A.F.I. They most likely have either the course you are looking for or something comparable.
I hope this helps some.
It was a long time ago I was in.
I am a Korean veteran, if that tells the story.

Corpman and EMT are different things, so I would assume that you can't in the Navy. However EMT is a one month course that can be easily completed if you have a month off.

Yes, I got my paramedics degree while in the Navy as a Hospitalcorpsman. and it should take about 3 to 6 months depending on what school you go through.
