In December 1996, NHTSA held a conference to address the EMS education recommendations of the EMS Agenda for the Future report published earlier in the year. Over the next two years, an EMS Education Task Force was established. The goals were expanded to include defining the essential elements of a national EMS education system, as well as the education organizational and disciplinary interrelationships necessary to achieve the recommendations in the Agenda.

The outcome of the Task Force was the document entitled the EMS Education for the Future: A Systems Approach [68]. It called for development of five components of an overall EMS education system following the model of medical education: a national EMS core content, a national EMS scope of practice model, national EMS education standards, national EMS education program accreditation, and national EMS certification. General responsibility for each of the components was assigned to specific disciplines of the EMS community: EMS core content – physicians; scope of practice – state regulators; education standards – EMS educators; national program accreditation – educational programs; and certification – assumed by NREMT. Subsequent projects and documents for each of these areas were developed to fill those needs:

 EMS Core Content publication – 2005; updated 2012 and 2019

 EMS Scope of Practice publication – 2005; updated 2019

 EMS Education Standards publication – 2009; planned update 2021
