HOW MANY CERTS DOES YOUR STATE RECOGNIZE

Do you believe there should be so many certifications recognized by one state

Wa. State licenses at FR, EMT-B, EMT-I and EMT-P level. It does not recognize NREMT in place of a state license, as I understand it. I believe an except is made on a federal reservation [military base, etc] as they don't always fall under state regulation.

For my 2 cents, I think we need 3. First Responder, IV Technician, and Paramedic

Would you change the levels of education and training for these?

I would keep the first responder training the same, about 40 hours. With the EMT Basics all having to become IV-Technicians, I would add about 70 hours (the same as the current IV Technician training) and more clinical time to the EMT-Basic curriculum. The paramedic training could stay the same. Granted, in my state, paramedics can have a pretty unlimited scope of practice with training in-house.

Well so far we have proven we have WAY too many.. eliminate the all between. Either you your First Responder, B0asic or Paramedic.. short and simple. Decrease all the expenditures and do it correctly.. You don't have time or money to expand your career... then don't. When you have achieved that level, then proceed to waddle through and pretend or be similar. Too many excuses allows to many variables.
