EMT's are generally governed by a state commission. While rules vary from state to state, most frown on convicted felons becoming certified as EMT's. Some commissions will treat it on a case by case basis. Generally, if your offense involved violence or a narcotics offense your chances are very slim.

I live in Kentucky, and I am also a convicted felon. My felony charge was 9 years ago. Last year I wanted to go to school to be and EMT. The technical college that I wanted to enroll in does a background check, and if you have any infractions, they will not enroll you for any medical courses. I know this is discouraging, but it is what we have to try to get around. Currently I am applying for a pardon from the governor, but there is about a .5% chance that I will be approved.
