Agreed. There are training providers who offer courses that are too short to be called paramedic. That is why we affiliate with PERCOM. They have a standard for mixed learning that has been proven. Our PERCOM students do 12-18 months online before coming here to Ireland for two weeks of...

Here in the EU the paramedic training is a two year diploma similar to the AS degree back in the US. On the continent ambulances are usually manned by nurse equivalents. They have four years of training and have a bachelors degree. In some of the eastern block countries ambulance...

There is a company in Ireland who can certify international students into the NREMT Paramedic qualification. You do most of the work online and then come to Ireland for your classroom testing before doing seven weeks of placements in the US. You can sit the NREMT Paramedic exam at the end of...

Sadly we had to drop the BSc due to tuition hikes here in the UK. They now want £9k ($14k) per year for the BSc. Add that to the second year tuition and we are looking at a $28k degree. We are suggesting to interested students that it will be cheaper to wait until you have 3-5 years of...

The MSc is about $9200 for the entire degree. It takes about two years to complete. At the moment it does not have a clinical element but Middlesex are redesigning it over the next couple of years. You do not get additional clinical skills with this. What this does is give you academics in...

Here in the EU we can go directly for the Masters degree without needing the AS or BS degrees. Our universities can use life experience as credit. The course from Middlesex University will take anyone with 5 years of paramedic experience and put them through a two year MSc degree in Remote...

I use the Wilderness Medical Society for most of my CME requirements. They offer unlimited CME credit by reading an article and taking a three question test. It costs $75 per year. Plus, there is a large amount of information on that website.

We use the EMR book from JB Publishing. http://www.jblearning.com/catalog/9781449693008/ It has online content as well.

MTI costs 11k. Plus you need to have a student visa since you will be in the United States for more than 3 months. We offer a US paramedic certification where you can do your skills testing here in Ireland after your online training. That minimised your time in the US down to 7 weeks. You...

I did the EMR course when it was a requirement for the sheriff's academy way back in the 80s. It might have been called something else but it was the 40 hour medical responder course for first responders. It definitely is not new.

Hi James, I would like to talk with you about your online paramedic course. We are based in Ireland and offer an AREMT Paramedic certified through Australia. We have quite a few people interested in the NREMT Paramedic. What would it take for you to accept international students for your...

Yup. I paid 30k for my BSc and 60k for my MA in the US before retiring here to Ireland. I wish that I had looked around first

Here in the EU there are Master's Degree for those with more than 3 years post training experience. No Bachelors needed. The Master's in Science is a two year programme costing £6110 for the whole degree. It is a lot cheaper than doing a BS then a MS degree in the US. FAFSA recognized...

It doesn't matter. As long as you aim towards the outer ear lobe you will miss the turbinates. Just because everyone teaches the wrong way doesn't make it right.

I look forward to hearing your feedback once you have finished the course.

Hi, We offer AREMT paramedic and EMT courses here in Ireland. The Australasian Registry of EMTs certification is not accepted by any country. However, there are plenty of jobs that you can get using the AREMT certification. These jobs are found in the oil industry, security industry...

I didn't know that. I will quickly burn his book and forget everything that he taught me about ECGs. NO, it doesn't bother me that he is a criminal. His book is still good. Why should I throw something out because he is a fecking eejit?

It couldn't hurt to volunteer with the Red Cross in your local ER. They usually take volunteers to help with taking vital signs and pushing patients around.

Can't say enough about the Dubin book.

It also helps to have a bit of current events knowledge. Sometimes they ask you about what is happening in the news.
