Medics: Your Last Chance …
DON’T WHINE IF YOU DID NOT REVIEW AND COMMENT
The very last chance to review and comment on the EMS Scope of Practice Educational standards will close May 30. This is the third and final draft before the standards are submitted to NHTSA. The scope replaces the National EMS Curriculum in 2011.
Go here to access the draft documents:

Two-thirds of the existing paramedic instructor-coordinators will be unable to run or supervise paramedic training programs when the states adopt the scope.
I would tell you why, but you need to read the standard yourself … or re-read this blog entry from last year:
