EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN: BASIC. NATIONAL STANDARD CURRICULUM
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has assumed responsibility for the development of training courses that are responsive to the standards established by the Highway Safety Act of 1966 (amended). These courses are designed to provide national guidelines for training. This course is a revision of the 1984 Emergency Medical Technician-Ambulance: National Standard Curriculum. It is one of a series of courses making up a National Emergency Medical Service (EMS) training program for prehospital care. The curriculum, Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT-Basic): National Standard Curriculum, is the cornerstone of EMS prehospital training. In addition, the new curriculum parallels the recommendations of the National EMS Education and Practice Blueprint. The EMT-Basic curriculum is a core curriculum of minimum required information, to be presented within a 110-hour training program. It is recognized that additional specific education will be required of EMT-Basics who operate in the field and that this information might differ from locality to locality. This curriculum is intended to prepare a medically competent EMT-Basic to operate in the field. The contents include an Instructor's Course Guide and an Instructor's Lesson Plans in 8 modules.
