Application for Educational Institution Approval

The EMS Office promotes the training of emergency medical services personnel based on sound educational principles, current medical knowledge and practice. The Emergency Medical Services Board approves all educational institutions desiring to train EMT, AEMT, Paramedic and Critical Care Paramedics. Educational Institutions wishing to provide EMS training will make application to the EMS Office. Once application is received and reviewed by the Office a site visit to the institution is scheduled. The EMS Office then makes a recommendation to the EMS Board as to the institutions compliance with EMS Rule: 1200-12-1-.13.
