MEMBERSHIP
WE WANT YOU TO JOIN OUR TEAM!
No prior experience is necessary—just an eagerness to learn and the determination to make a positive impact on someone's life. We equip you for success, offering top-of-the-line equipment, initial training for NYS EMT Certification, continuous medical education, and a supportive community of like-minded individuals.
Our diverse members come from various backgrounds but share a common bond: an innate desire to assist and support. As a member, you'll have the chance to learn and experience things that many won't, providing a profound sense of fulfillment from helping your community.
Every new member undergoes a thorough and closely supervised training program at BMEMS. The journey begins with a comprehensive new member orientation, providing insights into BMEMS operations, regulations, and the different service areas. Upon initiation, new members enter a probationary phase and are paired with experienced personnel in a mentoring relationship. These mentors oversee their day-to-day training and guide them throughout the probationary period.
