Maniacal....Work full-time and earn a 'doctorate' in 4.5 years. It's a dangeriously flawed educational model? What does this compare to in hours of training didactically and clinically?
Do they even have as much training as an EMT-P
EMT-B = 110
EMT-I = 200-400
EMT-P = 1000 or more
My understanding is this is just their classroom training....
No, this is typically total training; classroom, lab, and clinical environment.
= minimum of 1320 hours training for the average EMT-P
Can you really train a health care practitioner in the same or even less time than it takes to train an EMT-P?
"EMT training programs for certification vary greatly from course to course, provided that each course at least meets local and national requirements. In the United States, EMT-Bs receive at least 110 hours of classroom training, often reaching or exceeding 120 hours. EMT-Is generally have 200400 hours of training, and EMT-Ps are trained for 1,000 hours or more."
Bed side nursing deserves the highest of respect.....but those trying to practice medicine and more concerning....practice independently are truly frightening in my opinion.
Please remember.....education isn't measure in number of years......
it should be measured in classroom hours/course content/clinical training content/and hours of clinical training/and competencies tested comprehensively.
Not with blurred lines like 4.5 years of part time online classroom education while you work 40 hours/week.
