As we are moving away from calling Paramedics "EMT-Paramedics" to reflect the fact that what we do is not technician level, I feel that we should discuss possible alternatives for our post-nominals. As Jon Smith, EMT-P is pretty much the only post-nominal we have, what do you think it should be changed to? Or should we keep the EMT-P?
I feel that one should have the right to proudly display their earned credentials, and as EMS moves toward more stringent educational requirements with the accreditation requirements and national scope model, we should be proud to see paramedicine leave the EMT title behind.
My thoughts
"Jon Smith, MICP" mobile intensive care paramedic
"Jon Smith, pMED" Paramedic
"Jon Smith, NR-P" Nationally Registered Paramedic
"Jon Smith, EP" Emergency Paramedic
"Jon Smith, ECP" Emergency care paramedic/practitioner
"Jon SMith, RP" Registered Paramedic
Your thoughts?
