The majority of EMS Educators start
out working as an EMS professional for a
hospital, community, county, private or fire
service. Eventually, through their personal
interest, professional development and con-
tinuing education, they become an educa-
tor in their service. According to the last
membership survey, the typical NAEMSE
member serves as an educator and remains a
provider in the system serving a community
throughout their career. That teaching capa-
bility and capacity to serve is augmented by
an association fulfilling a mission to inspire
and promote excellence in EMS education
and lifelong learning within the global com-
munity.
