Paramedic Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a paramedic in Minnesota?
To become a paramedic in Minnesota, you must complete an accredited paramedic education program, pass the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians paramedic exam, and then apply for a Minnesota EMS Paramedic license through the Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board, which is the state licensing authority. Programs are offered at institutions such as Hennepin Technical College and North Memorial Health. Licensure requires proof of education, registry certification, and a background check.
How much do paramedics make in Minnesota?
Paramedics in Minnesota earn a median of about $76,300 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,320 for the lowest 10% to over $93,910 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire paramedics in Minnesota?
Employers hiring paramedics in Minnesota right now include Mayo Clinic, North Memorial Health, and Emergency Physicians Professional Association, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Minnesota's large integrated health systems and fire departments with EMS divisions tend to post the most consistent openings, particularly for full-time and benefits-eligible positions.
Which Minnesota cities have the most paramedic jobs?
Saint Paul, Wadena, and Mankato have the most paramedic openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities metro drives the bulk of volume because of its dense concentration of hospital systems, fire-based EMS agencies, and critical care transport programs, while Rochester's openings are largely tied to Mayo Clinic's extensive EMS and transport operations, and Duluth supports demand through its regional trauma and rural coverage responsibilities.
Are there remote paramedic jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of paramedic openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of emergency medical work. The remote-eligible positions that do exist tend to be in EMS education, quality assurance, medical direction support, or EMS program coordination rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a paramedic in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing your National Registry certification and Minnesota EMS Paramedic license, then applying to municipal fire-EMS agencies or health system EMS services that run structured field training officer programs for new paramedics. Hennepin Healthcare and North Memorial Health have histories of hiring newly licensed paramedics into supervised field roles. Starting as an EMT-Basic or EMT-Advanced with a Minnesota licensed service and building clinical hours is the most common lateral move that opens the paramedic pipeline, and completing additional coursework in critical care or pediatric advanced life support gives candidates a measurable edge.
Where can I find and apply to paramedic jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to paramedic jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current Minnesota openings updated regularly. Search the listings, find roles that match your license level, specialty, and preferred location, and apply directly to whichever ones fit your situation.
