Medical Oversight

Training Centers who are certifying public safety personnel (e.g., law enforcement officers, firefighters, corrections officers) in Emergency Medical Response must have physician level (MD or DO) oversight.

 

State Licensure and Credentialing of Emergency Medical Responders

State EMS agencies have the legal authority and responsibility to license, regulate and determine the scope of practice of EMS providers within the state EMS system. ASHI’s Emergency Medical Response program is designed to train and certify individuals in Emergency Medical Response — not to license or credential — Emergency Medical Responders. Individuals who require or desire licensure and credentialing within the state EMS system must complete specific requirements established by the regulating authority. It is not the intent of ASHI’s Emergency Medical Response program to cross the EMS scope of practice threshold.
