Why National Paramedic Certification Matters!
National certification serves the
important independent purpose of identifying for the public, state licensure
agencies and employers, those individuals who have successfully completed the
National Registry's educational requirements and demonstrated their skills and
abilities in the mandated examinations.
National certification assures that the EMS personnel providing treatment to
patients-at their highest moment of need-are competent. National certification
also establishes uniform standards for training and a valid, uniform process to
assess the knowledge and skills required for competent practice required by
professionals throughout their careers.
In the event of a national emergency, it is often necessary to bring EMS
personnel from other states to the scene of the national emergency. National
certification means those EMS personnel are familiar with the same techniques
and procedures, and can successfully work side by side to tend to the injured or
ill.
The public cannot be expected to determine whether EMS personnel are qualified
to deliver competent care. The public can unknowingly be at risk of unsafe and
incompetent care. The responsibility falls on the profession, then, to ensure
that safe and effective care is provided to the public. The NREMT is pleased to
offer this assurance to the public through certification by way of an
examination that is legally defensible and psychometrically sound.
