Welcome to the debut episode of Validated: The International Board of Specialty Certification Podcast. Host Mike Verkest is joined by John Clark to discuss the launch of the podcast and the exciting work underway to develop a new certification pathway for hospital paramedics. Together, they break down how paramedics are already thriving in emergency departments, ICUs, cath labs, rapid response teams, and other in-hospital roles—and why national standards and credentialing matter now more than ever.

You’ll also hear insights from subject matter experts who recently gathered in Dallas to help define the future of the profession through a formal job task analysis. From career growth and team-based care to expanding opportunities across healthcare, this episode explores how paramedics continue to evolve far beyond the ambulance.
