Can a felon get an emt license in Tennessee?

Answer 1

I would think it would depend on the felony. I would think that violent crimes, sex offenders, drug related felonies and felonies related to medical practice would be the only ones that would cause a problem, but it probably depends on your states laws.

Answer 2

Probably not. First thing they will do for paper work in EMT classes is start off with a background check. If you fail it, (and if you're a felon, you would) you would be asked to leave the training program.

NREMT is another matter, they will want to know if you were accused of, but not convicted and even offenses that were expunged from the record.
