The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (The Registry) serves as the nation’s emergency medical services certification organization. Created in 1970, The Registry is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organization, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The mission of The Registry is to protect the public through national certification based on uniform standards for training and examination of EMS personnel. HistoryThe Registry was established in 1970 in response to a recommendation from President Lyndon Johnson's Committee on Highway Traffic Safety that a national certifying agency for Emergency Medical Technicians be created in order to establish and standardize training requirements.[1] Mission Statement: To serve as the National EMS Certification Organization by providing a valid, uniform process to assess the knowledge and skills required for competent practice by EMS professionals throughout their careers and by maintaining a registry of certification status. Vision Statement: Improve patient care by being the global leader in Certification for the EMS profession. StandardsMost states use or require National Registry testing for some level of state certification.[1][2][3] The Registry recognizes four levels of EMS: EMR, EMT, EMT-Advanced, and Paramedic (some states may have additional certifications).[2] Registry certification at an EMT Intermediate level may or may not be sufficient for some state EMT-I requirements.[4] National Certification Levels[https://www.nremt.org/rwd/public/document/paramedic Nationally Registered Paramedic (NRP)]Highest level of certification through the The Registry. This represents the highest level of national certification. Paramedics are considered Advanced Life Support (ALS) and can administer a range of medication, as well as perform advanced electrical and invasive surgical interventions (please see Paramedics for a full list of skills.) In the United States, NRP Paramedics typically consist of a one year program or two year associates degree program consisting of over 1800 hours of didactic and clinical education focusing on acute emergency stabilization and prehospital care. [https://www.nremt.org/rwd/public/document/advancedemt Nationally Registered Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (NRAEMT)]Intermediate National Standard Curriculum as defined by the Department of Transportation - National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)[5] This level can also provide certain drug therapies. [https://www.nremt.org/rwd/public/document/emt Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technician (NREMT)]This level of certification provides Basic Life Support (BLS). Provides out of hospital emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical services (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. [https://www.nremt.org/rwd/public/document/emr Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Responder (NREMR)]Provides 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, although in certain states are allowed to work alongside one or more EMTs on an ambulance crew, acting as a driver and assisting the EMTs with patient care. TestingNational EMS Certification cognitive examinations are high-stakes, computer-based examinations.[6] The EMR, EMT and Paramedic exams are computer based adaptive (CBT), while the Advanced-EMT is a computer based linear exam. RenewalThe Registry encourages all EMS personnel to maintain national certification. Recertification encourages providers to remain current in EMS knowledge and maintain proficiency. Recertification requirements increase confidence in the public, employers, and other stakeholders and gives recognized credibility across the nation.
