A recent survey by CoAEMSP found that two-thirds of AEMT Program Directors are enthusiastic about voluntary accreditation for AEMT programs, with 59% likely to seek it. The value of accreditation is highlighted in the higher pass rates of the National Registry certification exam by paramedics who attended CAAHEP-accredited Paramedic education programs compared to AEMTs. The voluntary accreditation option is hoped to enhance the safety and well-being of communities nationwide by advancing AEMT education programs. Join us as Dan talks with Executive Director Dr. George Hatch about the survey results and provides more information on AEMT voluntary accreditation.
