Ah but the college accreditation system is a whole different animal as they

accredit the college hence if a program is offering an AS, AA, AAS, BA BS etc

etc etc does that make it acceptable under this NR statement ?

" On November 13-14, 2007, the National Registry of EMTs Board of Directors voted

to require that applicants for national Paramedic certification graduate from a

nationally accredited educational program after December 31, 2012. "

This means a massive reduction in several Texas programs. Looks like somebody

will make a bundle of cash off of this deal. Programs are going to have to

spend money they don't have to get nationally accredited. We all know of

nationally accredited programs who can get through the accreditation game, but

can not provide sound education. So the NR buys off on it anyway.

If you were looking for a paramedic shortage - we just got it!!!!

The Southern Association of Colleges and Universities accredits Texas

colleges and Universities. I have been through two of their accreditation

processes, and they are just about the same in requirements as CECBEMS and

CAHEP, I

think, but I think NR specifically means program specific accreditation.
