The goal is to identify the characteristics which are pertinent to program development to attract the younger population into the field of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) .  \nAs of January 2024, there are currently 29,854 certified EMS providers in the state. 15,396 of those are EMRs and 10,114 of those are EMTs, however, that does not mean they are all working in the pre-hospital capacity where there is the greatest need. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall employment of EMTs is projected to grow 5% from 2022 through 2032, which is faster than other professions. (Bureau of Labor Statistics)  \nCommunity Benefit  \nEMR and EMT education allows the opportunity to make an impact in the community by serving a local public safety agency such as an ambulance service, fire department, or medical response unit as well as provides a foundation for those interested in pursuing other careers in either public safety or the medical field.  \nEMR  \nThe National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) defines an EMR as able to provide immediate lifesaving care to critical patients who access the emergency medical services system. EMRs have the knowledge and skills necessary to provide immediate lifesaving interventions while awaiting additional EMS resources to arrive. EMRs also provide assistance to higher-level personnel at the scene of emergencies and during transport.  \n(NREMT EMR)  \nNote: EMRs in Minnesota are not required to obtain NREMT certification to apply for Minnesota state registration.  \nIn Minnesota, EMRs serve on local ambulance services, fire departments, first response agencies, law enforcement agencies, and many more.  \nEMT  \nThe NREMT defines an EMT as able to provide out of hospital emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the EMS system. EMTs have the basic knowledge and skills necessary to stabilize and safely transport patients ranging from non-emergency and routine medical transports to life threatening emergencies. EMTs function as part of a comprehensive EMS response system, under medical oversight. (NREMT EMT)  \nNote: EMTs in Minnesota ARE required to obtain NREMT certification to apply for Minnesota state certification.  \nIn Minnesota, EMTs serve on local ambulance services, fire departments, first response agencies, law enforcement agencies, hospitals, clinics, and many more.  \nEMS Education Standards-Course Length  \nThe National Highway Transportation Safety Administration Office of EMS is the federal agency responsible for providing guidance to the EMS industry nationwide. The mission of the Office of EMS “is to provide national leadership and coordination of comprehensive, data-driven, and evidence-based emergency medical services and 911 systems.” Part of that work includes establishing the National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards. Current standards establish the minimum education requirements for all certification levels. The education standards provide guidance on the depth and breadth of key knowledges and skills required at each level. While the education standards are competency based the Office of EMS recommends a minimum number of hours required to adequately cover all material. (NHTSA)  \nThe standards suggest initial EMR courses be around 40 hours in length and initial EMT courses be around 150- 180 hours. EMR and EMT education covers many of the same topics, however, EMT education takes a deeper dive into each of the specified core competencies:  \n- Airway/Respiration/Ventilation  \n- Cardiology  \n- Trauma  \n- Medical  \n- Operations  \nHow to Provide EMS Education in Your School  \nIn addition to the ","cbCaivpWIvgb4yPV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivpWIvgb4yPV","pdf",188753,"English","# Purpose\n# Community Benefit\n# EMR\n# EMT\n# EMS Education Standards - Course Length\n# How to Provide EMS Education in Your School\n## Option 1 – Partner with Existing Program\n## Option 2 – Apply for Program Approval\n# EMS Education Program Requirements (EMR/EMT)","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this EMS education program guide for high schools?\",\"answer\":\"It serves as a guide for high schools to understand pathways to offer EMR and/or EMT courses that result in state certification, including identifying program-development characteristics to attract students.\"},{\"question\":\"How are EMR and EMT roles defined in the handbook?\",\"answer\":\"The handbook uses NREMT definitions: EMRs provide immediate lifesaving care while awaiting additional resources and assist higher-level personnel, while EMTs provide out-of-hospital emergency medical care and transportation under medical oversight.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the recommended course lengths and common education standards approach?\",\"answer\":\"The handbook references national education standards and notes suggested initial course lengths of about 40 hours for EMR and about 150–180 hours for EMT, with competency-based guidance and a recommended minimum hours approach.\"}]","High School EMS Education Handbook - 2024 | PDF",1790159167,15]
