Health/insurance exam question before becomming an EMT?

In order for me to be submitted into an EMT/Paramedic program I have to do the following:

"Applicants accepted to the program are required to
submit a health certificate signed by a licensed physician, physician鈥檚 assistant or RNP and should include
documentation of measles, mumps, Rubella (MMR) and
chicken pox exposure or inoculations; documentation
of Hepatitis B inoculation; Tuberculosis testing; and
overall general health of the applicant."

The problem is that I do not have health insurance. Is there any way I can get this done for free right now?

you have a few options...talk to the education director of your program, see if the medical director for that ems organization will examine you. or see if you can sign a waiver that says you are in good health and the ems education program is not responsible for any adverse health risks (you will still need to turn in your immunizations). see if a paramedic i/c at that organization can document your BP, HR, and overall health. or if you are attempting to get either state, federal, or private healthcare coverage see if you can submit vaccination records and submit a physical at a later date. lastly you could find an ER physician or nurse practitioner and explain that you have to have a physical but cannot afford one and lack insurance. see what happens, make an effort thats all you can do.

Have any friends in the medical field that can check you out.

Some pharmacies will do it for low cost ($50 or so), but not for free. I've even seen my university do low cost shots for several things.

Usually most cities and towns have a public health that is either free or a reduced price from a regular Dr. Can't hurt to call your Doctor and ask if there are any less expensive options... they won't have a problem guiding you in the right direction

You could try your county free clinic but it's usually only for low income/poverty level people. Any regular clinic or GP will do a physical but it will probably cost you a bit, especially if you need any of the vaccines.

No. Most doctors will charge you for doing a physical. Contact local doctors around the area and see what they say. Some may even give you a discount if it is for EMT/Paramedic training.
