It's different in each profession I guess then.
The paramedic programs have to maintain a minimum registry PASS rate. Nobody cares about placement in this field.
Another problem with paramedic programs, the schools teach you how to pass the test, not how to be a good medic. It's a catch 22 though. I know a lot of these instructors, and they are damn good medics themselves. But if they taught how to be a good medic, nobody would pass the test so it'd be moot anyways. So they spend all their time focused on the book work, and not teaching real life techniques.
