National EMS Scope of Practice Model

The National EMS Scope of Practice Model is a guide that defines what emergency medical responders, such as paramedics and EMTs, are trained and authorized to do in the field. It outlines specific skills and procedures they can perform to provide safe and effective pre-hospital care. This model helps standardize training and certification across regions, ensuring responders have consistent responsibilities and capabilities, ultimately improving patient care during emergencies.
