In 2009, NHTSA published the National EMS Education Standards. These are consistent with the principles of the 1996 EMS Education Agenda for the Future: A Systems Approach and establish the entry‐level educational competencies for the levels of EMS clinicians outlined in the National EMS Scope of Practice Model [79]. The current model has four levels of clinicians: emergency medical responder, emergency medical technician, advanced emergency medical technician, and paramedic. The EMT‐I that was established in 1999 was eliminated. The National EMS Education Standards replaced the earlier National Standard Curricula, enabling more diverse implementation methods and updates that are more frequent. A revision of the educational standards is expected to be published in 2021.
