National EMS Organizations

National EMS organizations are official groups that set standards, coordinate efforts, and support emergency medical services across a country. They provide training guidelines, certifications, and best practices to ensure that emergency responders deliver consistent, high-quality care. These organizations work to improve patient outcomes, promote safety, and advance EMS systems through education, research, and advocacy. Examples include the National Association of Emergency Medical Services Physicians (NAEMSP) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Their goal is to ensure that EMS providers are well-prepared and able to effectively assist individuals during emergencies nationwide.
