The National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP), based in Atlanta, is a professional organization of emergency medical services (EMS) physicians in the United States. Though targeted toward physicians, members also include medical students, EMTs, paramedics, nurses, administrators, educators, and researchers. NAEMSP publishes the academic journal Prehospital Emergency Care.
History[edit]
NAEMSP was established in 1984.[1][2] The American College of Emergency Physicians (ABEM) and the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) developed the fellowship as a subspecialty of emergency medicine in 2011, with accredited programs beginning in 2013.[3][4] As of January 2024, the organization also contains 35 state and regional chapters. In 2022, he organization established the E. Brooke Research Fund to promote continued EMS research.[5][6]
EMS physicians in the United States[edit]
Generally, EMS physicians in the United States must complete an undergraduate degree, medical school (MD/DO), emergency medicine residency program, and an EMS fellowship.[7] As of 2023, there were 81 EMS fellowship programs and 139 fellowship positions available in the United States.[8]
EMS physicians often work in an emergency department and in the field, or out-of-hospital setting.[9] Many EMS agencies throughout the United States now recommend or require an EMS fellowship to act as a medical director for an EMS agency.
Leadership[edit]
NAEMSP is governed by 11 voting board members, including the association president.
