Ethics

[washington fireman]

Hi everyone, well I need to see if anyone can help me with a online ethics class, Does anyone know where to look for this and is it focused on the EMS field

Doubt you will find a specific EMS Ethics course. Maybe Washington State University or New Mexico EMS program. Most ethic courses regarding medicine is usually generic in nature. See if your program will allow such courses to transfer, as well as any courses (especially on-line courses). Then prepare for the $$ costs as well, most on-line is higher in price.

Good luck,

Your state licensing agency should have a list of accepted classes.

Also check your local community colleges' continuing education classes. They usually offer Ethics CEU classes for a variety of healthcare professionals.

If you are looking for a class for extensive than the CEU class, try the online EMS college degree programs. The 4 year degree programs would most likely have a class that could be completed online.

This is one such program:

Western Carolina University
