Position Paper on Degree Requirements for EMS Educators. Prehosp Emerg Care. 2020 Mar 06;:1-4 Authors: Leggio WJ, Rosenberger P, Perdziola S Abstract SummaryIt is the position of the National Association of EMS Educators (NAEMSE) Board of Directors that all EMS educators complete a degree from an accredited University or College. In this position, the academic level of the degree varies based on the role of the educator. In support of interprofessional approaches to EMS education and the broad nature of topics covered in curricula, the focus of a degree may vary. This position supports EMS educators having degrees specific to our profession, as well as in education, clinical sciences, related healthcare disciplines, and related professions. This position was formed in support of preceding national agendas and recognizes the need for degree requirements for leaders of our profession. This position supports the philosophy of NAEMSE and the maturation of an education workforce capable of offering innovative education and robust degree options.
