Where can I find the scope of practice document for a NYS DOH Bureau of EMS Certified First Responder/EMT/AEMT?
New York State does not have a specific scope of practice document for the CFR/EMT/AEMT. Instead, in NYS, scope of practice for the CFR/EMT/AEMT is defined by curriculum, protocol, and physician medical direction at the EMS agency, region, and State levels. In order to determine whether a particular skill falls within the EMS provider’s scope of practice, one would need to refer to the appropriate curriculum and protocol.
