In this episode, John and Terry explore the implications of North Carolina House Bill 675, which proposes requiring National Registry of EMTs (NREMT) certification for initial EMS credentialing in the state. They break down the bill’s intent, discuss how it could impact EMS education programs, and examine potential challenges for agencies and training institutions. The conversation covers how becoming a “National Registry state” might affect recruitment, especially in rural areas, and the balance between national standardization and local flexibility. John and Terry also address the possible operational hurdles, such as testing access, credentialing delays, and administrative strain. With their combined experience in EMS education and leadership, they offer insight into what the future could look like for EMS in North Carolina. Tune in for a thoughtful look at the crossroads of policy, practice, and patient care.
