2019 National EMS Scope of Practice Model available

摘要

The first revision to the National EMS Scope of Practice Model (Model) since 2007 reflects the latest evidence and best practices in emergency medical services (EMS) care and moves the requirements for EMS personnel licenses toward consistency. The recent revision of the Model reflects changes within the profession and advances in medical science that have occurred over the past 12 years and covers the four national levels of EMS clinicians: emergency medical responder, emergency medical technician (EMT), advanced EMT, and paramedic; facilitates reciprocity; standardizes professional recognition; and decreases the need for each state to develop its own education and certification materials.
