Ambulance Driver Programs. Both hospitals and community colleges offer training in ambulance driving and emergency medical technician duties. EMT training is commonly packaged with ambulance driver training into seamless programs that take place full-time during weekdays or weekends or part-time in the evenings.
The terms paramedic and emergency medical technician have been around for years, but there's still a tendency by some people to call anyone in an ambulance an ambulance driver (anyone other than the patient, that is). Some emergency medical technicians - especially paramedics - get quite offended at being called ambulance drivers.
