Creating the EMS System of the Future: The Role of the EMS Education Agenda

The EMS Education Agenda for the Future—released in 2000—is a vision for the future of EMS education that builds on the broad concepts of the 1996 EMS Agenda for the Future.

Paramedicine clinicians (including emergency medical technicians and paramedics) in the U.S. respond to 40 million calls for assistance every year. These clinicians are a critical component of the health care, disaster management, public health, and public safety systems in the U.S.

The millions who call for their help depend on the Education Agenda to ensure that they will receive the best possible care, and the paramedicine clinicians recognize that the Agenda forms a foundation for the success of the emergency medical services (EMS) system in the U.S.

The authors of this e-book applaud the recent initiative to revise the Education Agenda. Their comments offer insights meant to help both the development of the new Agenda as well as the development of the system. Success in the development of both will ensure the ultimate goal of providing our communities with the best possible services.
