Just in the month of January 2007, over 13,000 paperpencil exams were scored that were taken before January.  \nAs for CBT, over 23,000 candidate accounts have already been created on the NREMT website, and over 3,000 computer based exams were delivered in just the month of January. As we implement CBT, our staff has  \nreceived an average of 400 calls per day. Avoiding automated systems, the NREMT is committed to providing a “live” person for candidates to talk with. Every staff member attempts to provide excellent customer service to each individual calling, and we are proud of their dedication during this historical time.  \nThe success of CBT lies in the work that took place as much as five years ago, and most recently, with the beta testing that occurred in select states during the summer of 2006. State EMS Offices, Program Directors and educators must be commended for the support they provided during the transition. Without their help, it would not have been possible.  \nBecause CBT has been in effect for only a matter of weeks, NREMT staff will continue to work to enhance the process and make sure communication lines stay opened. Readers are encouraged to visit the NREMT website at [nremt.org](nremt.org) for more information and timely updates. /NR  \nThe Difference between  \nCertification and Licensure  \nWhat Every EMT Should Know  \nBy William E. Brown, Jr. , MS, RN, NREMT-P Executive Director  \nCertification and Licensure are two credentialing terms often misunderstood by legislators, State EMS officials, employers, peers and the public. The NREMT has received phone calls from EMTs who believe they have a second class credential because they are “certified” by their state EMS Office. Some want to be “licensed,” often without understanding the difference. Many documents have clarified the difference between these credentialing terms. The purpose of this article is to better understand the use of these terms in EMS.  \nPhysicians, the most recognized “profession” by consensus, can provide some guidance for us as EMT “professionals” to help understand these differences since physicians are both licensed and certified. Although EMS has many parallels with the medical model, we do have some differences. Physicians take a national “examination” offered by the National Board of Medical Examiners. The “Board” exam reports scores to the State Boards of Medicine, which then uses a successfully completed examination (passing score on all three parts) to issue a medical“license.” State Boards of Medicine are part of state government, issue  \ncontinued on page 2  \nNREMT Responds to the IoM Report  \nBy Gregg Margolis, PhD. , NREMT-P  \nThe Institute of Medicine’s Committee on the Future of Emergency Care in the United States Health System was convened in 2003 to examine the state of emergency care in the U.S. , to create a vision for the future of emergency care – including trauma care, and to make recommendations to help the nation achiev","cbCaidPHiwCcoZ8E","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidPHiwCcoZ8E","pdf",961726,"English","# IoM Report 1\n## ADA Accommodations\n## A New Era of Testing Begins\n## The Difference between Certification and Licensure","[{\"question\":\"What change is described in this issue regarding the NREMT exam delivery?\",\"answer\":\"The issue describes a transition to computer based testing (CBT) that took effect January 2, 2007, replacing weeks-later results with typically next-business-day results.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the newsletter explain the difference between certification and licensure?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that certification and licensure are credentialing terms often misunderstood by legislators, EMS officials, employers, and the public, and it clarifies how the terms are used in EMS.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the NREMT’s response to the Institute of Medicine (IoM) report?\",\"answer\":\"The issue states that the NREMT supports the IoM’s study and provides responses to the report’s recommendations, including discussion of improving emergency care through leadership and financial support.\"}]","The Registry - Spring 2007 Newsletter | PDF",1790203638,15]
