The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (National Registry) is the non-profit Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Certification organization for the United States. Its mission is to provide a valid, uniform process to assess the knowledge and skills required for competent practice by EMS clinicians throughout their careers, and to maintain a registry of certification status.

For this , we are looking back at an incredible year of advancing knowledge and creating impact.

Our research team had 17 total publications last year. This includes 10 publications completed directly by our research team, and 7 completed in partnership with our dedicated collaborators.

In addition to these publications, the National Registry strengthened its commitment to evidence-based practice with the launch of our new Research Article Database.

This freely available resource centralizes more than 50 curated research articles in a single location, providing EMS Clinicians, Educators, program leaders, researchers, and policymakers with direct access to current evidence and emerging insights. To help you find exactly what you need, the database is organized into three key focus areas:
🔹 Workforce: Resources to better understand current workforce trends.
🔹 Clinical Care: Insights to strengthen clinical decisionmaking and real-world application.
🔹 Education and Clinical Judgment: Evidence to support and strengthen educational practices.

By removing barriers to accessing high-quality research, we are proud to support a more informed EMS community and continue the development of certification standards grounded in science.

On June 4, 1970, the National Registry was established to build a consistent, nationwide standard for training, testing, and certification to EMS.

Decades later, the photos in this post remind us just how much has changed. Practices and equipment once considered state of the art have evolved as research and evidence have advanced patient care.

As we celebrate 56 years of the National Registry, we are proud of our history, excited about the future, and committed to supporting EMS clinicians through certification, recertification, and lifelong learning.

Because in EMS, staying current isn't optional. It's how we provide the best care possible.

Most professional failures in our field have nothing to do with clinical skills.

While every Clinician must pass a certification examination, Scott Moore believes most career struggles involve non-clinical factors like financial stress. These personal hurdles are often what cause a dedicated professional to trip and fall outside of the patient care environment. Addressing these life skills is the key to building a sustainable and healthy workforce for the future of EMS.

In a world where we often feel the weight of our own struggles, reaching out to help others can be a powerful remedy. When we choose to support those in need, we not only mend their wounds but also begin to heal our own. Let’s remember that kindness has a way of turning our pain into purpose. Together, we can make a difference.

Does the promise of overtime pay outweigh the necessity of a healthy work-life balance?

Data shows that the value placed on personal time is nearly equal to that of financial compensation, yet many in our field find it difficult to maintain both. A new Clinician often enters the workforce with an appetite for extra hours, but this pace can lead to professional exhaustion. If we are to foster successful careers, we must look beyond clinical training and address the real-world pressures that exist after passing a certification examination.
