Question
Hi. I will be transfering soon, i want to know the right university for me. Im majoring in the paramedic field. I live in il. But I was also wondering If The University Of Il. offers a paramedic major? Text me if thats possible 18156850645

Answer
Hi Ryan,

That's a fairly specialized program you are looiing into. U of Ill may well have it, but I would do some internet exploring to see exactly what you need in terms of education and certification.

Pick up some courses in Wilderness Medicine if you are able, to furhter boost your resume.

You may have opportunity,too, to pick up experience while in school through being an athletic training asst or volunteering with the local ambulance/EMT squad.

Best wishes.

Bruce
