NHTSA Seeks Final Input on EMS Education Standards

PRESS RELEASE

The final draft of proposed revisions to the National EMS Education Standards is now available for public comment. Members of the EMS community and the public are invited to review the document and provide feedback to the team leading the effort by Monday, December 14, using the online form here.

The revision of the National EMS Education Standards is spearheaded by a team of experienced EMS professionals convened by the National Association of EMS Educators (NAEMSE), with support from the NHTSA Office of EMS and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Maternal and Child Health Bureau's EMS for Children (EMSC) program. The team has engaged with stakeholders across EMS and healthcare to create this final draft of the standards, and a final publication of the revised National EMS Education Standards is anticipated in early 2021. The revision effort follows on the heels of last year's publication of an updated National EMS Scope of Practice Model.
