CIEMS - The Center for International Emergency Medical Services

Guidelines, Education and Curriculum Development

A product of the Community that the Center is working to create will be the authoring of best practices guidelines for International EMS research and development. We hope that these guidelines will serve as a comprehensive information resource for those working in or thinking of entering the field.

Through this program, we plan to encourage the expansion of international EMS programs and training to provide services beyond the strict scope of emergency services to fill gaps in locally available health care, especially in the provision of preventive medicine services. Such services include but are not limited to running rapid tests for infectious diseases, administering vaccinations, and providing public health education.
