I've heard by word of mouth that the nation will be changing the paramedic certifications, to where you have to receive a degree to become a paramedic.
I was told that this change will take place in 2013 and you will have to go to paramedic school. No more online classes or tech schools. And there will only be certain colleges that you can attend throughout the nation. Has anyone heard anything similar?
Since, they are trying to omit Intermediate, I feel it will be a lot harder for basics to become paramedics, especially with certain accredited schools. But I also think that basics skills will advance throughout the nation. Allowing the basic to maintain all airway or start IVs, and let the medics handle drugs.
Like I said this was just passed on by word of mouth, I was throwing my .02 in. I would like to hear if anyone else had heard anything.
