It has been over five decades since President Johnson’s Committee on Highway Traffic Safety recommended creating a national certification agency to establish uniform standards for training, monitoring, and vetting personnel active in the delivery of emergency ambulance services. The result was the establishment of the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians in 1970.
Since its initiation, the National Registry has certified over 2 million EMS providers nationwide. Today, more than 500,000 individuals are nationally certified at the Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Advanced-EMT (AEMT), or Paramedic level.
The American Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP) provides nurse practitioners (NPs) a unified way to network and advocate for NP issues. AANP is the largest NP organization created for NPs of all specialties and proudly represents the interests of the more than 355,000 NPs currently licensed to practice in the U.S. AANP continually advocates at local, state and federal levels for the recognition of NPs as providers of high-quality, equitable, cost-effective and personalized health care.
