How is NASEMSO working with the NREMT, CoAEMSP, and other national partners to implement paramedic program accreditation?
The Education Agenda calls upon the national certification organization to award certification based upon successful completion of an accredited program of instruction. States along with their education programs and the Committee on Accreditation of Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP) are working together to identify processes and timelines to achieve paramedic program accreditation.
