Ask the Feds: <strong>EMS</strong> Federal Partner Agencies<br />

Spend face-to-face time with leaders from our Federal <strong>EMS</strong> Partner agencies. Agencies include,<br />

Department of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, National Highway Traffic Safety<br />

Administration, U.S. Fire Administration and more. Federal Partners coordinate with each other<br />

through the Federal Interagency Committee on <strong>EMS</strong> (FIC<strong>EMS</strong>). FIC<strong>EMS</strong> addresses many areas<br />

that affect <strong>EMS</strong> at the national, state and local level including: <strong>EMS</strong> data standardization and<br />

collection; <strong>EMS</strong> disaster preparedness; National <strong>EMS</strong> Assessment; <strong>EMS</strong> research funding review<br />

and <strong>EMS</strong> education agenda. In addition to Federal <strong>EMS</strong> Partner agencies, the Roundtable will<br />

provide the opportunity to hear from and question leaders of National <strong>EMS</strong> education organizations<br />

including the National Registry of EMTs (NREMT) and the Committee on Accreditation of<br />

Educational Programs for the <strong>EMS</strong> Profession (CoA<strong>EMS</strong>P).<br />
