Here's the history from the IBSC website I was getting my FP-C recert info in order, noticed this, and remembered this post BCCTPC was formed in the summer of 2000 IBSC was formed in Jan. 2016

Thank you everyone for your responses! Based on these responses, I decided to go ahead and recert my CCEMTP. I just received my new card this morning, so I'm good until Nov. 2026. I really do appreciate everyone's responses!

Thank you Aprz!

My agency is on the East Coast and provided the CCEMTP course for those of us that were going to work on our CCT, starting in 2002, when I took the course. I will say that the CCEMTP is/was a good introduction to CCT, and I learned a lot from it, when I took it in 2002. I have been FP-C...

I have maintained my CCEMTP (2002) for 21 years and am now considering letting it lapse. I also have, and maintain, my FP-C and CCP-C, but I have maintained my CCEMTP as I heard (however I can't find hard evidence to confirm) that some states accept/require CCEMTP for their states Critical Care...

I will defer to you then, as you were "there" at that time, and I came in just after. Thank you for the history, that I was unaware of. Always good to learn something new.

I believe you are incorrect, as I believe the BCCTPC was started in 2000, specifically for the FP-C, by NFPA (but separate). I took the CCEMTP class in 2002, and in 2003 I attended a FP-C "prep course" (for the Con-Ed toward my CCEMT-P) and trust me, the vast majority of the people there taking...

Googled a little, and yes, it was BCCTPC. https://www.jems.com/news/specialty-certifications-in-ems/ https://www.naemt.org/docs/default-source/community-paramedicine/cp-c-press-release-dec-2015.pdf?sfvrsn=0 https://www.jsomonline.org/Editorials/2013399Clark.pdf

I want to say BCCTPC?

I enjoyed watching that. Just a thought, as I have no BA in History and am but a simple Paramedic who is a history buff. WW I was a LONG time before 1938, at least when I learned history (I do realize that in the last few years many have been rewriting history, anatomy, etc., so I guess that...

1979 was my first and I have no idea what it was. Too many years and too many calls since. I wish I did remember it.

I am very sorry to hear that. It's one thing when it happens by our choice............. I'm glad to hear that you have your RN to "fall back" on. Best of luck to you.

Merry Christmas!

I have used it since 2020 (I believe, when they started it?) and it was very helpful. It let me purchase some things (masks, etc) that weren't available to "regular" Amazon members. I had never used Amazon before this. A very nice "perk" from NAEMT.

The question I'd have to ask myself is......... Would you want someone treating you, or a loved one/family member, that is having a panic attack? EMS is not for everyone.

I believe that you will see many more Municipal agencies going to 401K/etc, in place of Defined Pension Benefits, as they (Defined Pension Benefits) are not sustainable in the long term.

Very true! You can never go wrong by doing what's right for your patient. I read the OP and the first thing that came to my mind was whoever wanted to leave that patient, has NO business being in EMS. If they are paid personnel, the situation needs to be reported to their supervisor...

If you do not have a copy, might I suggest the book Field Training Officer: Tips and Techniques for FTOs, Preceptors, and Mentors by Barry Eberly and Bruce Nepon which might be a helpful resource for you in your search. I wish you luck.

Only you can make that decision. I would say that since you took the time and effort to sign up here to ask, that you must really want to keep it. Good luck to you, whatever you decide.
