Susan and I are not talking about the same thing.
Per New Mexico SAR Resource Officer James Newberry, the relevant
entity for SAR responders is the (current name) New Mexico Dept.
of Health, Injury Prevention & Emergency Medical Systems Bureau
(http://www.nmems.org/). Its website lists courses pre-approved
for Continuing Education credits: http://164.64.80.7/ipems.com/ce/preapproved.htm
That is the pre-approval to which I referred. The list includes
WFR courses provided by either WMA or WMI.

Agreed.
I hope this thread is of some interest or use to readers not in
New Mexico.
