Story Behind the Curve
EMS Instructors conduct initial and ongoing education for EMR, EMT, AEMT and paramedic programs. An EMS instructor must hold certification as an EMT, advanced EMT or licensure as a paramedic. This means that the number of EMS instructors is included in other reports. Note that 2023 reflects a significant reduction due to expiration of COVID-19 extension of certifications.
