I was an EMT and Paramedic for 6 years before going back to college to complete the pre-med requirements. A little over a year in, I was still bright eyed and gung-ho, so I allowed all my certs to lapse including my state EMT-P and NREMT-P certs with the thought that I'd go straight from pre-med to med school. Now, I'm a year from graduating and I *need* a year off before matriculating. I'd like to work EMS again during that time, but I can't quite figure out what the NREMT stance is on re-testing after a lapse in certification. I assume at least a paramedic refresher course and ACLS, PALS, and ATLS at a minimum. Anybody know, or can point me in the right direction of a definitive answer?
