EMT-Paramedic and EMT-Intermediate Continuing Education National Guidelines

摘要

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has assumed responsibility for the development of training courses that are responsive to the standards established by the Highway Safety Act of 1966 (amended). Since these courses are designed to provide national guidelines for training, it is NHTSA's intention that they be of the highest quality and be maintained in a current and up-to-date status from the point of view of both technical content and instructional strategy. To this end, NHTSA supported the current project which replaces the 1985 EMT-Paramedic and the EMTIntermediate Refresher Course: National Standard Curricula. This material was developed to be consistent with the recommendations of the National Emergency Medical Services Education and Practice Blueprint, the EMT and Paramedic Practice Analysis, and the EMS Agenda for the Future. These continuing education guidelines are part of a series of courses making up a national EMS training program for prehospital care.
