The BS Paramedicine Degree

This webinar was recorded live on September 17, 2020 by the National Association of EMS Educators and Nicholas Miller.

Description:
The debate over whether paramedics should have a minimum of a college degree has gained momentum as several national paramedic bodies have endorsed the idea that paramedics be minimally degreed. There have been a handful of colleges and universities offering a bachelor's degree to paramedics; however, most of these programs do not teach advanced paramedic courses or other medical education. The degree basically adds general education and management courses to a certified paramedic. However, there are a small number or paramedic education programs that are looking to the future and asking,

"What should a Bachelor's-prepared paramedic truly look like? How can a Bachelor's degree prepare a paramedic to be successful throughout their career and provide a return on their investment?"

This presentation will examine how the BS Paramedicine Degree curriculum in being updated and designated with the future in mind.
