<p>Does anyone know anything about the EMS (Emergency Medical Services) program at UCLA? </p>
<p>I'm pursuing a career as a firefighter paramedic and I will most likely be transferring to UCLA for next fall. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I took the EMT course through UCLA. You don’t get units for it (only community college LACC credit) and no GPA. It costs about 1000$, unless you get in through scholarship which is very competitive. I believe the UCLA EMT education is the best in the nation and their coordinators are all very fun/interesting/nice.</p>
<p>If you are referring to the UCLA EMS service that provide care around campus, i don’t know a ton, but its VERY competitive and I know many people that applied. Being qualified won’t really get you the job here, just about who you know, and how well you are perceived at interviews.</p>
<p>Your question is very vague, but I will answer it. Yes I do know “anything” about the EMS program at UCLA.</p>
<p>Ask some specific questions, but you will probably find more answers by googling: ucla ems.</p>
<p>you mentioned how competitive it is to work for the EMS and I figured it seemed like it too from what I read online. Do you specifically know what makes it so difficult to get in? Did your friends that applied get it? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
