Junior
Ambulance Attendant Program
Fame EMS is currently offering a Junior
Ambulance Attendant Program. The program is available for youths
between the ages of 14 and 18. Under the program, junior members
receive on-the-job training in the emergency medical field and, in
return, are expected to volunteer a minimum of 24 hours each quarter
and meet minimum academic requirements to remain active. While 14
and 15 year old members act primarily as observers, the course
provides them with the basics of first aid training. After turning
16, the juniors become eligible for more advanced training, such as
the Emergency Medical Technician class. As members, the company
covers tuition for those who choose to pursue EMT and paramedic
training. There is also a scholarship toward medical programs other
than pre-hospital for those who remain active for two years. Upon
request, interested applicants will receive a packet containing
copies of the Junior Program Guidelines, the Child Labor Law and
necessary parental consent forms. Parental consent forms, a student
work permit, and a $25 application fee are required to be considered
for the program. Teenagers interested in the Junior Ambulance
Attendant Program are encouraged to contact Fame EMS for more
information.
