| "On November 13-14, 2007, the National
Registry of EMTs Board of Directors voted to require that applicants for national
Paramedic certification graduate from a nationally accredited educational
program after December 31,
2012.
The motion
was introduced in June 2007 and tabled to enable consultation with other
members of the EMS
community. Following discussions with other national EMS organizations,
the board passed the motion unanimously on November 14, 2007. The rationale for the
change is based on the recommendations in the EMS
Education Agenda for the Future: A Systems Approach as well as the
Institute of Medicine (IOM)
Report titled Emergency Medical Services at the Crossroads.
These two publications call for a linkage of paramedic educational program
accreditation with eligibility for
certification. " (November 27, 2007 NREMT EdNet Communique - November 2007).
The NN2 Board and Officers would like to know if this impacts your program. Please let us know below.
