Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Programs (CAAHEP)is the program accreditor for allied health programs. The Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP)is the specific commission under CAAHEP that accredits paramedic programs (There is no accreditation for EMTB programs). See http://www.coaemsp.org Currently there are 14 accredited programs in Texas. Although only schools are currently accredited here in Texas, it is not required: Austin Community College - Austin, TX Brazosport College - Lake , TX College of the Mainland - Texas City, TX Galveston College - Galveston, TX Houston Community College System - Houston, TX North Montgomery Community College - Houston, TX San Jacinto College - Pasadena, TX San Jacinto College North - Houston, TX South Plains College - Lubbock, TX Tarrant County College - Hurst, TX University of Texas Hlth Science Ctr at San - San , TX University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center - Dallas, TX University of Texas-Brownsville and Texas Southmost College - Brownsville, TX > > Ok, accredited by who?? Does this limit accredited programs to college-based programs? > > What programs are currently nationally accredited? > > -Wes Ogilvie, MPA, JD, NREMT-P > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Now do you see it? Do you feel the thumb screws turning and feel like there is nothing you can do to stop it? Are you in a rural or frontier area? Did you hear that? It was the door slammed by the NR with the help of those that profess to know what is best for Texas. I believe you know, but I will go on record hear and now, get rid of the NR as a mandatory requirement for certification in the State of Texas or you can kiss qualified manpower and the reduction of morbidity and mortality in the outline areas of Texas goodbye. GETAC please pay attention and listen to those of us who are experiencing the problems now and what this decision will do to us in the future. The metro services do not understand because they have access to those programs and the tax base to pay for it. The formal setting educators are looking at the job security this creates and not the access problems for the outline areas.
