Episode 22: Michigan’s New EMS Law – A Dangerous Shortcut
In Episode 22, we dive into Michigan’s new EMS law and the legislative shortcuts it introduces to address paramedic shortages. This law (Senate Bill 249) eliminates requirements for national program accreditation and passing the national paramedic certification exam, aiming to increase the number of “paramedics” in Michigan. But with this shift comes significant risks: reduced standards, increased patient risks, and these new "paramedics" will never be able to practice outside the state, as their license won’t be recognized nationally. We discuss the potential pitfalls of this approach, the importance of maintaining national EMS standards, and how policymakers can support EMS without compromising the profession’s integrity. Join us as we explore the long-term impact of taking shortcuts in EMS standards.
