Good post. I think you are stating what is probably the only good reason, for now, where a degree would be necessary-leadership. EMS can't be compared to hospitals because there's no similarity. Everyone in hospitals have degrees for the most part, excluding CNAs, etc. Our physical therapists...

The degree "thing" is a never-ending conundrum. Nurses and paramedics have this debate all of the time. Since I'm both, here's what I think: For medics, if there was a medic-specific degree (AS, AA) that would lead to a Bachelor's, that would be great. AAS degrees can't be used for a Bachelor's...

Amen.

Review FBI Crime Statistics. I believe we're up to year 2015. Most deaths occur with:????? Hands and fists. Clubs, bats, knives. Guns are near the bottom of the list and hanguns make up the majority, not rifles or ARs.

Absolutely concur! Couldn't have said it better.

Yeah, but my point is they usually wind up downsizing!

It is interesting to note that the OP posted back in 2011 and the debate goes on still. The article cited by the OP came from PUBMED, a highly reliable source for EBP. However, in the article cited, it did not specify which locale, if any, or if it was a nationwide study. With the low sample...
