Executive Director/CEO National Registry of EMTs Columbus, Ohio
Description: The EMS community has provided feedback over the past several years that it was time for adjustments to the Advanced Life Support (ALS) examination – specifically, the psychomotor examination. The data from the 2019 ALS Practice Analysis supported the feedback. It was clear to the National Registry that it was time to evolve the way candidates are assessed for minimum competency by introducing a refined ALS examination while also sunsetting the current ALS psychomotor examination.
The ALS Examination Redesign is an refinement and improvement to the National Registry’s examinations. It will provide a better way to protect the public, to align more closely with the needs of the EMS community, and to better align with emerging and best practices in the certification industry.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the impetus for the evolution and improvements to the National Registry ALS Exam.
Describe why the evolving assessment process for the AEMT and Paramedic certification levels will better serve the EMS community and protect the public.
Articulate the timeline of the exam changes, including the introduction of the new performance exam and the sunset of the psychomotor exam.
Champion the coming improvements to their respective communities and stakeholders.
