The article compares training hours for ambulance attendants to barbers and other regulated professions. Ambulance attendants require 28 hours of standard and advanced Red Cross courses, while barbers face 1,248 hours over 15 months plus exams and licenses and potential increases to 1,500 hours. Experts urge higher EMS training as ambulances are now viewed as mobile hospital units. The lack of trainer funds and rising standards are noted, with lawmakers just beginning to tighten requirements.
