Why are the states being rushed into implementation of the Education Agenda?
This vision has been 12 years in the making. The EMS Agenda for the Future (1996) was the first to describe the outcomes and goals for EMS Education in 2010. The Education Agenda and its model components are simply the roadmaps that NASEMSO requested in 2000 to achieve the goal. . The components of the Education Agenda have been unfolding for a considerable length of time—the Core Content was published in 2005, the Scope of Practice Model was published in 2007, and the Education Standards were published in 2009. National EMS Education Program Accreditation (Program Accreditation) will not be expected before 2013.
