Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Why can't we all just agree to pick on the chiropractors? ;-) -Wes Re: Online Paramedic Refresher 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. Todd, B.S., J.D.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I spent 8 years in EMS before heading for law school. Even after 13 years of law practice, my heart always stayed with EMS. I have law review editor experience, etc., and I think editing, contributing, authoring EMS law and ethics books, articles, chapters would be a blast. Let me know if you need me.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I got interested in EMS after doing some ride-alongs in Lubbock while in law school. Donn persuaded me to come to the second EMStock after he saw some young lawyer making posts on this list. After coming back home to Austin and finally finding a job, I went ahead and got my EMT certification. Paramedic school looks very likely in the near future. Thanks (or curses) to all of y'all who've mentored and/or badgered me over the years. You know who you are. -Wes Re: Online Paramedic > Refresher > > > > > > 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.
