NREMT update

By SANDY HUNTER
Eastern Kentucky University

Below are highlights from an update session sponsored by the National
Registry of EMTs during last week's National Association of EMS
Educator's Conference.

  • A new practice analysis will be available by December, 2000
  • EMT Intermediate cards will say I/85 or I/99 to show whether Intermediates have tested under 1985 or 1999 curriculum until new scope of practice is devised
  • Intermediate test will have 180 questions with pass fail sections (like Paramedic)
  • New Paramedic exam will be available in October; the stop date for giving the old test will be in November
  • New Paramedic test will be very similar to old in content
  • Basic EMT test applications will be changing and will be available on-line for download.
