EMT Renewal Options
In addition to the 24-hour refesher and 12-hour classroom (or online) and 12-hour skills class options to renew one's EMT certification MIEMSS is looking to expand the renewal options in an effort to esure continued compentency and to save costs. The first option allows EMTs to complete the 12-hour approved classroom continuing educaiton, which can be achived through approved online formats (MFRI), as well as completing a skills evaluation for continued skills competency . The skills evaluation is in lieu of the 12-hour skills class. This saves time and costs and ensures continued competency of skills through evaluation. The other option recoginzes EMTBs with NREMTB certification. At time of renewal, the EMT will submit his NREMTB card, along with affiliation and protocol currency verification and he will recieve a ne Maryland EMT certificaiton (3 years). There are currently nearly 2,500 NREMTBs in Maryland so this option will allow for more EMTs to renew their Maryland EMT without having to go through duplicate continuing educaiton cources. The BLS committee will be developing polices and proposing applicable regulation changes to implement both options for the near future.
