Specifically, the National Continued Competency Program incorporates the use of evidence-based medicine, gives state and local agencies the freedom to dictate a portion of their education requirements, and provides a foundation for EMS professionals to embrace life-long learning.  \nThe NREMT wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to the State EMS Offices, Agencies, Training Officers, Medical Directors, and EMS Professionals who are committed to maintenance of provider certification through the established guidelines and uniform standards set forth by the NREMT.  \nTable of Contents  \nBrief History of National EMS Continued Competency………………………….……5  \nPrinciples and Application of the Continued Competency Program…………….….….5  \nOverview of the National Continued Competency Program…………………………...7  \nNational Component……………………………………...…………………………….8  \n2016 National Component Requirements…………………………………….….9  \n2012 National Component Requirements………………………………………10  \nLocal Component…………………………………………………………………...…11  \nIndividual Component……………………………………………………………..….12  \nRecertification Methods……………………………………………………….………13  \nActive and Inactive Certification Status………………………………………………15  \nGeneral Recertification Policies………………………………………………………16  \nTransition Policy………………………………………………………………………18  \nAcceptable Continuing Education Methodologies………………………………...….20  \nAvailable Resources for Training Officers and Medical Directors…………………...23  \nFrequently Asked Questions………………………………………….……………….24  \nGlossary…………………………………………………………….…………………40  \nReferences……………………………………………………….…………………….41  \nBRIEF HISTORY OF NATIONAL EMS CONTINUED COMPETENCY  \nSince the registration of the first nationally certified EMS professional in 1971, EMS practice has evolved significantly.
