Virginia Certs. & Requirements

Hey All,
I'm looking for some EMTs from VA. I need some information on VA's reciprocity & advancement process.
I am an EMT-B in MS. & I will be moving back to VA in the near future. What I need to know is if I should take paramedic down here? What is VA's exact process. In MS. the state doesn't recognise EMT-I because the National Registry doesn't recognise new Intermediates. So I can go straight into Paramedic school here. How does it work in VA? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanx, Stay Frosty,
NAFF

I'm going to try to post again it doesn't seem to want to take my response. Virginia no longer recognizes EMT-CT as a functional certification in the state. Various areas still have the ability to host a CT to I bridge course bringing individuals to the accepted levels within the state. The training website is http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/OEMS/training/index.htm. Let me know if i can get you any additional information.
