Navigating EMS Alphabet Soup
As I’ve been researching Paramedic programs, the general EMT re-certification process and continuing education classes, I felt I was lacking a general description and/or resource of ALL the EMS “alphabet soup” certifications. What the heck do all these things stand for, anyway? There was no ONE place that described everything I needed to get done.
So I made one myself. While a lot of the info on here only pertains to me (for example, the class cost breakdowns I’ve focused on are all around San Francisco), this might be helpful to other EMTs or those who want to become EMTs or Paramedics.
Here it is. As I’m sure you can tell, it’s still a work in progress. For example, I still need to find out exactly what “PPC” stands for, and what it’s needed for. Also, for best viewing ZOOM IN and click through each of the three pages. Hope someone finds this useful! Cheers

Don’t take Med Terminology
’cause you’ll pick it up as you go along.’
Just buy a med pocket dictionary
and save your $ for courses you really need.
Great job with your charts! I remember making charts and things when I worked in the Legal field years ago. I was so organized that my boss actually told me I wasn’t working! I was, I just had everything down to where I was just too efficient that he didn’t see me doing some of my work. It does make it easier when you have charts and things.
