Confused Any EMTs/paramedics out there?
So I have a question...I'll be starting an EMT program soon and I'm worried about a few things.

I'm required to have a background check...does that include medical things? Will a severe TBI as an infant show up on that?

What if for some reason it is asked if I have ever had a head injury? Do they think it will keep me from functioning in that kind of working environment and not let me complete the program? Should I just leave it out?

Part of the paperwork asks if I have frequent or severe migraines/headaches...which I do. That won't affect anything if I'm honest will it?

Thanks
