During the next four to six years everyone in EMS will be going through a “transition”from levels of certification designated in the 1990’s to new titles with new interventions and responsibilities. These changes have been planned since 2000 and are being accomplished in conjunction with the EMS Education Agenda for the Future: A Systems Approach. Hundreds of national EMS leaders participated in discussions with states and stakeholders to help everyone arrive at this decision over the past 11 years.\u003Cbr>This newsletter is being sent to you to outline specifically what YOU must do to become a Nationally Registered Paramedic (NRP).\u003Cbr>First a little history regarding the EMS title of EMT-Intermediate/99 and why EMT-I/99s who wish to maintain National EMS Certification must become Paramedics. The title EMT-Intermediate has been used since the late 1970’s. Many states found | the gap of knowledge and skills between then established EMT-Ambulance and EMT-Paramedic to be too large to absorb in one education program. Therefore, many states started adopting a variety of Intermediate\u003Cbr>levels to meet state specific needs. So many were adopted that some reported over 30+ levels of EMS certification existed and most were between the traditional EMT-A (later changed to EMT-B) and the EMT-Paramedic level.\u003Cbr>Fragmentation was the“norm” in EMS licensure.\u003Cbr>In 1994 the NREMT hosted a blue ribbon panel of EMS stakeholders who developed the first EMS Education and Practice Blueprint. This panel attempted to resolve all the Intermediate level fragmentation by outlining anew EMT-Intermediate level. In 1999 the Department of Transportation (DOT) released a new EMT-Intermediate national standard curriculum. Immediately the new Intermediate curriculum was rejected by some states and eventually the National Association of | State EMS Directors (now the National Association of State EMS Officials) asked the NREMT Board to retain an older DOT EMTIntermediate Curriculum published in 1985 as an additional standard.\u003Cbr>Fragmentation was to continue until between 2004 and 2006 when the DOT appointed a taskforce headed by the National Association of State EMS Officials to develop the National EMS Scope of Practice Model (SOP) . After two years of work and receipt of input from across the nation the SOP task force chose to adopt a level between EMT and Paramedic; the new Advanced EMT. Because the NREMT Board of Directors is strongly committed to implementation of the EMS Education Agenda for the Future: A Systems Approach, the NREMT chose to eliminate continuance of National EMS Certification at the EMT-Intermediate levels.\u003Cbr>cont. on pg. 3 |  |\n\n\n| Page 2 Your Transition Plan: From EMT-I/99 to Paramedic |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| \u003Cbr>NREMT Transition Policy\u003Cbr>Adopted June 8, 2011\u003Cbr>The NREMT Board of Directors is committed to implementation of the EMS Education Agenda for the Future: A Sys tems Approach.
