Final Version of the National EMS Scope of Practice Model

As part of their commitment to realize the vision of the EMS Agenda for the Future, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Health Resources and Human Services Administration (HRSA) have recently funded a project to develop a Model National Scope of Practice for all levels of EMS providers. NHTSA awarded a cooperative agreement to the National Association of State EMS Directors (NASEMSD) to lead this project. As primarily a regulatory document, the NASEMSD will be working very closely with the National Council of State EMS Training Coordinators (NCSEMSTC) to develop this product.

The National Scope of Practice Model is part of an integrated plan to strengthen the infrastructure of EMS education as proposed in the EMS Education Agenda for the Future.
