Certifications that open doors
Firefighter certification
Many city medic jobs in the United States are fire department jobs, and those usually require it.
Critical care paramedic
Ventilators, drips and balloon pumps for hospital-to-hospital transfers. A recognized add-on credential.
Flight paramedic
Helicopter work. Needs experience, a critical care credential, and a tolerance for weight limits and weather.
Tactical and wilderness medicine
Supporting police operations or working far from a road. Niche, and genuinely different medicine.
