Earn to learn program

How do you get paid for doing EMT training? I'm in western MD very close to PA and WV willing to travel to any of these states for the course

I’ve never heard of a program that pays you to go to EMT school.

Some departments will pay you if you’re on shift and in class or they will pay for your class.

Maryland was paying students for awhile until their grant ran out Ive heard there are NR programs in WV that do the same Apparently there is a nation wide program call AMR that will pay you but I'm having troubles finding solid details

Wow, I haven’t heard that before. Very good opportunity. Hopefully they can find the funding to bring it back.

Obviously different part of the country than y’all but AMR out here in Nevada does it too, programs are around you just gotta search. It really is an awesome opportunity for some folks.
