Yes. Many people, especially in some stagnant areas, are not ready for some of the proposed changes. Please also read this:

I know many volunteer "instructors" who have no background in collegiate-level sciences who, unfortunately, are going to be caught completely unaware at the new changes in the national standard curricula. In order to move forward, the chaff must be removed from the sheaves at some point.
Even some community colleges are already considering dropping their programs due to the upcoming changes.
What community colleges did not meet CAAHEP accreditation for also becoming CoAEMSP? It would be a real stretch for one not to meet these minimum standards. Is the Paramedic program the only thing the college teaches?
If some will do a search with RidRyder911's name, you will find he has started threads and discussed this numerous times throughout this year. It is also a shame that the moderators of this forum did not feel any of Rid's threads on the upcoming changes deserved a sticky. Unfortunately education, except for those against it, is not always a popular topic.

I think too you make a good point about Rids previous posts on this very subject. However, I don't think this particular web forum will ever been tuned into to this issue since its base is mostly young and inexperienced EMT's and very few top tier EMS professionals. My statement is not meant to berate EMTLife, but just stating what appears to be fact from my observation of threads and some of the polls. Thread subjects about what we wear, carrying guns and television shows seem to attract a better community turn out than the subject we are discussing here.
