Re: Online Paramedic Refresher

[Guest guest]

I wish!! I've been looking for ANY paramedic refresher course so that

I can get my NR (I'm an old school grandfathered in). The only way I

can sit for the NR test is to do a 40 hour refresher course. If

anyone knows of a refresher course around Houston I'd be greatful for

the info.

I just went through the reentry process after having

my Texas Medic Certification inactive for 10 years.

When I started trying to piece together what I had to

do to get back, I was told that I had to do a live,

DSHS-approved Paramedic Recert Course. The course had

to include skills instruction and testing.

I took a 3 month, 96 hour course at our local Junior

College. After completing that program, I was able to

apply to sit for my EMT-P exam. I took my test last

night and should know how it turned out in 2 or 3

weeks.

All of this recert/reentry stuff is pretty fresh on my

mind, so if I can help let me know.

You probably agree that the practive of law ain't what

it used to be.

I've never been the sharpest guy. I went from racing

ambulances to chasing ambulances; finally caught one,

then hurried and got my cert back so that I could get

an adrenaline fix. I hear that other lawyers make

money off of ambulances without getting puked on or

spit at. How boring!

Maybe we ought to start a fraternity.

There goes the neighborhood-property values will fall, crime will permeate

Just kidding. On graduation from medical school, we had to take the oath

that included, " Thou shall never miss an opportunity to swat a barrister. "

Actually, this is a good idea. To recertify our emergency medicine boards,

we have to complete several on-line modules. These are fairly lengthy and

require a lot of journal reading. You still have to brush up on areas not

covered before you write the recertification exam. So, why can't paramedics

do the same?

There is an organization in Massachusetts that has taken several of my

lectures and turned them into on-line CE (http://www.mediced.com

<http://www.mediced.com/> ). I provided the slides for free and have no

financial interest in the company. They are fairly inexpensive so I donated

my stuff. There may be other companies doing this. It would be nice to have

something Texas-based. The program should specifically address refresher

while addressing some new material to bring the student up to date. I could

arrange for permission to use some of the Brady materials of needed. I am

not volunteering for the work, just offering the idea. My plate is full

enough right now.

I probably have 10 business cards of EMS people who old JD degrees. All

seemed to enter law after college and all found EMS their true calling. Some

dabble in both, some left law full-time, some left law altogether. I have

always thought that they are quite a resource and would be good chapter

authors for an EMS law book or would have some advisory role like Jim Pages

Street Medicine Society has done for physicians. Many, though, would prefer

to stay away from legal issues altogether.

I probably have 10 business cards of EMS people who old JD degrees. All

seemed to enter law after college and all found EMS their true calling. Some

dabble in both, some left law full-time, some left law altogether. I have

always thought that they are quite a resource and would be good chapter

authors for an EMS law book or would have some advisory role like Jim Pages

Street Medicine Society has done for physicians. Many, though, would prefer

to stay away from legal issues altogether.

You probably agree that the practive of law ain't what

it used to be.

I've never been the sharpest guy. I went from racing

ambulances to chasing ambulances; finally caught one,

then hurried and got my cert back so that I could get

an adrenaline fix. I hear that other lawyers make

money off of ambulances without getting puked on or

spit at. How boring!

Maybe we ought to start a fraternity.
