Surprised that's my opinion? Have the last 10 years of internet rambling taught you nothing?
I don't think Paramedics should be required to obtain an Associate's Degree. I think Paramedic should BE an Associate's Degree.
If you're already a Paramedic, why should I send you back to school? You've already lost most of the benefits of the education...why waste a seat?
For example, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Emergency Medical Services with a concentration in System Design. It was a 4 year program. Paramedic School alone was a year and a half and the education around that core program made me a better student and, surprise, a better Paramedic.

Have a listen to our latest What's Your Emergency Podcast when I bring this topic up to Motorcop and ask him if he thinks cops should be required to obtain an AS.
