In this episode, I interview NREMT's Chief Certification Officer,
Mark Terry, and Certification Manager, Megan Hollern. I really
enjoyed this conversation and felt it cleared up many
misconceptions and confusion surrounding initial certification and
certification renewal. After carefully going through a >200
comment Facebook post where I asked, "what questions would you like
me to ask the NREMT?" These are the questions that seem to be the
most popular.
1. Besides reciprocity amongst select states, what is the benefit
of maintaining your NREMT?
2. If I let my NREMT lapse, or never even got my NR, what is the
process in order for me to get it back?
3. The hour requirements are broken down into general categories
(i.e. trauma, cardiology, etc.), are the subcategories mandatory or
suggested?
4. Do you ever see the instructor-led hour requirements coming
back?
