reposted to elaborate and provide a counter argument: To their points 1) workforce shortages: if this profession had a clinical pathway upward we would be more attractive to those considering a career in health sciences. Thereby retaining clinicians who would move on to different disciplines, and decreasing the rate of attrition in the field. 1a) if you want more skills change disciplines: THATS WHY WE HAVE WORKFORCE SHORTAGES 2) redundant scopes of practice: it already exists in healthcare. Currently as a CCP I have a scope of practice very similar to that of my RN and RT colleagues. PA's and NP's, in practice, have very similar roles and are often hired into roles that could be filled by either discipline. That doesn't change the fact that we need higher privileged clinicians in the out of hospital care space. 3) the PAs and NPs would be mad about it: To which I say "who cares?" Someone needs to take care of these patients, the existing system has failed them. We don't see PAs and NPs out here making house calls on the regular, so they can either get out of their offices or stand aside and let paramedics advance our profession to make up for the current shortcomings
As a long time, member of NAEMT, I am challenging the paramedicine professionals that are running for the BOD of NAEMT to publicly explain your stance on the importance of entry level and advanced degrees for paramedicine professionals and how you will work toward revoking the abhorrent NAEMT stance opposing development of advanced degrees for paramedicine professionals.

Did you know… Confederation College students in their final semester of the paramedic program get to partake in ride-alongs! Students are paired up with a full-time crew, called preceptors. It’s an opportunity for the students to learn how to apply the skills they’ve learned in real life, attending to patient care with the guidance of on-duty paramedics. Ride-alongs also serve another purpose – they can help students determine whether the paramedic life is the right fit. If you’re interested in becoming a paramedic, know that you’ll receive plenty of hands-on training to make sure you feel confident on the job! #YouBelongintheSuperiorNorth #paramediclife

Oh, that I might walk kindly through life with peace in my heart, and compassion for all. - Laura Jaworski
I believe this comment infers that many paramedics don’t have a degree. Also, it’s not the degree that makes the medic. It’s the intense training they receive and lengthy clinicals they’re required to pass that gives them the vast scope of practice needed to save lives in the field. Requiring a degree would only create the bottleneck issues we’ve seen in the nursing field. This would also cause a harmful ripple effect for rural communities, Fire Departments, Police Departments and the military. All of which utilize paramedics. In turn, slowing response times as it would sharply decrease the amount of paramedics available to respond to such situations. This would put pressure on counties to increase the scope of practice for EMTs which is broader than most counties require. Food for thought… a paramedics scope of practice is larger than that of an RN, it would create a serious job competition within the hospital setting if paramedics were required to have a degree. As hospitals would be getting a larger bang for their buck, and we all know that’s what’s most important to them. Just my two cents…
Should all those desiring to get their paramedic be required to get a degree as well? Pros? Cons? Thoughts? #lightssirensaction #lightssirensactionems #emseducator

This is why FA/CPR/AED training and accessibility is so crucial-
8 minutes of bystander CPR, 3 shocks from a proven life-saving AED and 3 days in the ICU to make a full recovery. Are you prepared? Are you confident and proficient in the lifesaving skills of CPR and how to use a life-saving AED? Do you have a program to assist you with keeping your AEDs in rescue ready condition and to ensure your first responder’s training is up to date? I have worked with hundreds of companies and organizations to develop customized programs to prepare them to appropriately respond to a medical emergency. My company and I stand ready to partner and assist you. Please contact me for a consultative approach to your needs.

Blog ... What’s The Difference Between An Ambulance Technician, A Paramedic And A Doctor? Yes, we know, that sounds like the start to a really bad joke. But in the medical world there are literally thousands of different skills, specialisms and ranks you can achieve all while wearing the same uniform. While there are a lot of basic skills and training that is shared between them, each have their own unique set of skills and attributes that makes them perfect for their specific job. And one of the questions we get asked a lot as medical staff in green uniforms is – ‘what’s the difference between what you all do’? So today, we’re going to explain it................ https://lnkd.in/esFcJqyq #support #Medicalcover #Events2023 #Eventplanning #MedicalSAGplanning #Goodcommunication #Medicalteam #Team #bestinclassmedicalcover #eventorganisers #eventplanners
