New EMT-City Contest

[Just Plain Ruff]

This is an easy one.

I want those who participate to provide me with a education curriculum for a paramedic program.

It can be either a AS degree program, A BS Degree program or a certificate program.

The sky is the limit. You are only limited by your imagination.

Feel free to use university web sites and curriculum guides but you can't just cut and paste AND you must cite your source.

Include length of program, hours spent in clinicals. Include price of program also.

End of contest will be two weeks from the posting of this post.

Feel free to PM me with questions or ask them here. I will respond as well as possible but don't expect a response this weekend.

The prize will be a nice prize and if you have questions on past contest prizes just search for contest in the EMT City search field. spenac and others know what the prizes have been and can attest to their quality and value.

For those that want to submit an entry do we post it here, email you, pm you?

[Just Plain Ruff]

Contest ends 2 weeks from today.

Course description based on the cirriculum offered at Savannah Technical College, Savannah, GA

For what it's worth, the appearance of the information posted was actually better aligned and presented, but the forum client doesn't support margins and tabs etc.

This course would also include 100 hours of clinical rotation, 40 hours of field rotation and 24 hours in the morgue (practical applications/establishing skills)

I'm not sure what the 'going rate' for colleges are presently, but I don't see why this course shouldn't be available for more than $75.00 per credit hour. This would bring the course fee to $7875.00 plus the cost of books, lab fees, and incidental materials.

That's pretty cheap learnin'

My medic course is just over $14000, with books and A&P pre-requisite included.

That may be 'pretty cheap learnin'', but with anything, higher price does NOT guarantee higher quality.....

Whats the winning prize? :wink:

[Just Plain Ruff]

winning prize will be announce closer to the end of the contest. I actually have to look at my bookshelf to see which book I might be able to part with. It may actually also be something from a online merchant. I just haven't decided.

And who knows, it might just be a roundtrip airline ticket from Southwest to come to KC MO to have dinner with me!!! ha ha
