• Abstract:
  To develop a tool that can be used by States, regions, and local EMS education programs to measure how their current Emergency Medical Technician - Paramedic (EMT-P) programs compare to the revised 1998 EMT-P: National Standard Curriculum (NSC). Method: The U.S. Department of Transportation and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services entered into a cooperative agreement with the National Council of State EMS Training Coordinators, Inc. (NCSEMSTC) to produce the 1998 EMTParamedic: NSC Comparison Document. The original Partner Team for the State Implementation Guide for the Revised EMT-I and P project determined that comparison documents for the current and revised national standard curricula needed to be part of the implementation process for State EMS offices. A consensus-based process was again used to develop the EMT-P comparison and the NCSEMSTC was contracted to develop the initial draft and circulate it to the national EMS community for broad input. Originally the Writing Group tried to compare both the objectives and declarative material from each version of the EMT-P, but since this proved to be too subjective, the document became a comparison of only the objectives from each version.
