STUDENTS DO NOT NEED TO RESIDE IN MISSOURI during their clinical rotations, although a brief, on-ground visit for intensive skills training is necessary (usually two weeks).Currently, California, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin do not allow out-of-state paramedic 91ÖÆƬ³§s to engage in clinical rotations within their state.
