Paramedic Program Entrance Testing

 Thank you for considering the REMSA Paramedic Education Program 

 

There are multiple steps to successfully making it into our program.  This is a highly competitive process and each step should be taken seriously.  If you have questions at any time, please do not hesitate to contact us to ensure you are prepared for each step in the process. As of March 1st, 2023 a pharmacology exam is now a part of the application process for the paramedic program (entrance and Pharmacology exam scheduled separately). You must score at least 80% in order to be considered for the program. A score of 70-79% will allow for one retest per cohort. 

Course Information - REMSA Education reserves the right to make changes to the schedule or cancel a class due to low enrollment if needed.

    Step 1: Testing - The REMSA Paramedic program currently uses a written exam (this exam is taken on site at the REMSA Center for Prehospital Education in a proctored testing room) to evaluate the following categories: math (including basic math and algebra), information from the current EMT curriculum, medical terminology, EMT scope medication and dosages, and patient assessment and treatment. Candidates must complete this exam at one of the testing sessions. We do not offer study guides through REMSA, however, we do advise that you study basic math/algebra, and the current EMT curriculum. It is recommended that you review the latest EMT text of your choice. Please allot up to 90 minutes to complete the Entrance Exam. We also use a pharmacology exam (also taken on site at the REMSA Center for Prehospital Education in a proctored testing room). Please see Step 2 for more information about this exam. AEMT training and certification is no longer required. Please bring your State of Nevada EMT/AEMT certification. If you do not have a State of Nevada Certification you will be required to obtain one prior to the first day of class through reciprocity. This step should be handled directly with the State of Nevada EMS Division. Call 775-687-7590 for help with state certification issues.

  Step 2: Download Pharmacology List - You NEED to start studying NOW. PLEASE STUDY. The Pharmacology Exam will open 6 months prior to the start of class. You must achieve an 80% to be considered for that paramedic class. If on the first attempt, you are unable to obtain an 80% but get a score between 70-79% you will be allowed 2 retests for the same entrance process. If you score under 70% on the Pharmacology Exam on any attempt, you will be removed from eligibility for that cohort and will be encouraged to apply for a later class. The second and third attempt will be from a different version of the Pharmacology Exam. The retest needs to be completed prior to the Application Deadline in order to remain eligible for the class. Please allot for up to three hours for the Pharmacology Exam. Please allow five business days for the test to be graded. 

      Step 3: Submit Completed Application - Applications are available on the website. The application has many parts including reference letters and a transcript requests.  Please be prepared to put work into this step and do not wait until the last minute to complete.

                                                                       Application Deadline: October 15th, 2025

    Step 4: Panel Interview - All successful candidates will be contacted and scheduled for a board interview. Five to seven board members including REMSA field staff will ask standard interview questions allowing the candidate to share work history and reasons why you are seeking a career as a paramedic. It is imperative that you come prepared to share why you want to be a paramedic, what experience you have that will make you successful in the class, and what drives you personally.

                                                                       Oral interview boards: October 20th, 2025


Successful Acceptance into the Program:  REMSA Education Coordinators will score the application, letters of recommendation, exam scores, and panel interview scores. A list of accepted candidates will be compiled and notifications will be made.  

Part of choosing to become a paramedic should also include some research and understanding of what the job entails. It is important to understand the physical and mental challenges of the job and ensuring that you are prepared to meet them prior to spending a substantial amount of time and money on the program. Please review the functional job analysis provided by NHTSA to understand the finer details of the day to day expectations of a paramedic.
