In most cases, military medic time does count towards the one year of recommended experience requirement. We determine this on a case by case basis. Typically independent duty corpsman and special forces medics have the skills and knowledge equivalent to or higher than a civilian field paramedic. Each military medic/corpsman, not possessing the paramedic designation, should provide the site coordinator with a letter from their OIC outlining the skills allowed to be performed at the advanced level.
