Medical Education

  

National accreditation provides a sense of comfort - you know that a college or technical program meets certain standards. It matters when you help your child pick a college, and soon it will matter to anyone who wants to train to become a paramedic in Ohio. The state Emergency Medical Services board voted yesterday to require all Ohio paramedic programs to be nationally accredited. Ohio has 53 paramedic programs. Five are accredited, and 14 are working on it.
