Prehospital Emergency Care Podcast

Small-batch:

Paramedic Education Requirements

"A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge."

~Tyrion Lannister, Game of Thrones

 

 

More paramedic education is always beneficial.  But should a secondary degree be mandated for paramedicine?  How much education should EMS providers be required to attain?  How would this initiative be supported? 

Some say yes to required further education while others defer (see bibliography below).  

What are we to do?  Hmm...

To address this very topic, our fellow podcaster and friend Ginger Locke @gingerlockeATX of the @medicmindset podcast

along with Hillary Gates @gateshil of @EMSWorldNews
