To support this mission, the National Registry conducts routine research studies, referred to as practice analyses, to define the knowledge and skills required for EMS roles. Starting in 2022, the National Registry conducted a practice analysis for the basic life support (BLS) roles of Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) .  \nStudy Methodology  \nThe process of conducting the BLS-level practice analysis consisted of the following four major sequential phases:  \nI. Observational studies: A small sample of practitioners were observed in their role to gather initial data on how the job is performed.  \nII. Practitioner interviews: A structured interview was conducted with volunteers from multiple practice settings across multiple geographic areas. A qualitative data analysis procedure was used to explore the data for common themes and trends.  \nIII. Panel meeting of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs): A representative panel of SMEs reviewed the data collected in the previous steps, and discussed and developed a comprehensive description of the job role as defined by job tasks and the knowledge and skills required to competently perform the tasks.  \nIV. Validation study: A survey was developed and distributed to validate the work from the panel meeting. This survey also collected data that was necessary to develop the examination specifications.  \nStudy Results  \nFollowing the completion of the four phases, 28 major job tasks were defined and grouped into five performance domains: Scene Size-up and Safety (6 job tasks); Primary Assessment (9 tasks);  \nSecondary Assessment (2 tasks); Patient Treatment and Transport (7 tasks); and Operations (4 tasks) . The list of domains and job tasks are provided below.  \n\n| Content Domain | Related Job Tasks |\n| --- | --- |\n| Scene Size-up and Safety | • Develop a plan of action prior to arrival using all available information to ensure safe and effective operations.\u003Cbr>• Protect self, other responders, patient, public, and the emergency scene from existing and potential hazards.\u003Cbr>• Don appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), based on known hazards to protect responders from exposure.\u003Cbr>• Investigate the scene to determine potential patients. |\n\n\n|  | •• | Triage patients to ensure optimal care.\u003Cbr>Request appropriate resources based on known hazards and patient conditions to mitigate all facets of the emergency scene. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Primary Assessment | •\u003Cbr>••\u003Cbr>••\u003Cbr>••\u003Cbr>•\u003Cbr>• | Communicate with the patient and/or bystanders to establish rapport.\u003Cbr>Determine general impression of the patient.
