Paramedic School

[281mustang]

I'm trying to decide which Medic school to go to, this is the one I'm looking at right now. To my knowledge programs Paramedic programs are only required to be xxx amount of hours but what they actually teach regulated, so how does this fair against other programs? This one works best for me as far as start date, location, ect. but I'm pretty much open to any school in the southeast. Thanks.

Where are you located? Someone may be able to recommend a good school for you.

[VentMedic]

What program are you quoting from?

Can you provide a link?

[paramedicmike]

If you don't see the program you're interested in listed here:

http://www.caahep.org/Find_An_Accredited_Program.aspx

I would seriously reconsider that program.

Or, you can use the link to find an accredited program in your area.

Good luck.

Pinellas county Florida, I'm satisfied with the school I'm getting my FF 1&2/EMT-B from but I've lived here all my life and I'd like to move.

Yeah, I've been using the equivalent(the accredited EMT/Medic listing on JEMS.) That's how I found the one in Jacksonville.
