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.

I have an associates in paramedicine, what would I need to do to complete the BS program?

[@adrianpena200]

So what would an emphasis on criminal justice get you? And what else could you do with a minor in it? An Operational medic for different agencies would be a title you can get right? Like the FBI or the ATF or at least try to work up to that in maybe forensics like the nurses can do or on swat or hazard response
