There are about 1,000 paramedics in the United States now that have completed a Community Paramedic curriculum, roughly 600 of them trained by Hennepin Technical College in Minneapolis. Many of their distance learning CP classes are full with students from the US and abroad.
CP didn’t just show up. Like anything it continues to evolve, but what’s the vision for CP? Where is it going to lead those who perform and deliver pre and post hospital care, and home health medical care for patient treatment and monitoring? What is the big picture outlook for CP?
In this episode of EMSto the Point we called on Gary Wingrove to get the answers to our questions. He's been working to lay the CP foundation since 2007 and has national as well as international CP contacts. Gary is director for strategic affairs at Gold Gross Ambulance, which is affiliated with Mayo Clinic Medical Transport in Rochester, Minnesota.
