Medical Certifications that can be acquired online. - publius2k4 - 06-16-2013
I have been researching a lot of medical programs and trying to find some that grant certifications online. I figured this thread would be a fantastic place for all of this information to be cataloged.
I'll start the list with EMT-Fire Training based out of Utah. You complete courses online and then travel to Utah (meals and lodging included in tuition) and complete your practical exercises for 1 week. Afterwards, you are eligible to sit for the National EMT Exam.

If you know of any information on medical education that can be learned through distance education, please post it here. If this thread gets comprehensive enough, perhaps it should be sticky'd.

EMS Courses | Community College of Aurora in Colorado: Aurora, Denver, and Online
University of the Incarnate Word | UIW Online | Now Offering a Basic EKG Course
clep3705 posted this in another thread, but it seemed pertinent to this thread as well, so I borrowed it. I hope clep3705 doesn't mind.

This community college offers EMT and Paramedic programs that are accredited by CAAHEP. I'm not sure if they're carried under the CC's regional accreditation, but these programs are approved for licensure in Texas. Clinical rotations are available in a few Texas cities.

There are a ton of online pharmacy tech programs, so I don't think we should even bother with those. I don't even think that most states require schooling, just OJT and passage of the national certification exam. We also shouldn't bother with online MSN programs because there are potentially hundreds to thousands of those.
Creighton University has an online PharmD program.

WGU offers a second degree BSN and Excelsior offers an RN program that be completed mostly by distance. I can't recall the others right now.
Northeastern University has an online, direct entry MSN. The reason why I list this is because these are rare.
