EMT Transition question.

[CFal]

NREMT shows my level as "EMT" not EMT-B, does this mean I am already at the new level?

I would double check with your recertifying agency, they may have noted that you took the appropriate transition course. Some places have built them into con-ed so the transition is seamless.

National EMS Certification exams based on National Scope of Practice EMS Provider Levels Begin:
Advanced EMT June 1, 2011
Emergency Medical Responder January 1, 2012
Emergency Medical Technician January 1, 2012
Paramedic January 1, 2013

I think my NREMT test might be recent enough that I don't have to transition but I want to double check

The answer will be pretty simple, if your test was > Date X, you win

I have questions about my transition requirements also.

My original NREMT level was EMT-B with an expiration of 3/31/13
Recertified~Now the level is NREMT EMT with an expiration of 3/31/16

Sorry if this sounds incredibly dumb. When I took the original course, I was led to believe that I would need a transition course.. and now it looks like that information was either incorrect OR the transition was covered by the Refresher course I took?
I just want to make sure I do everything correctly and have no unpleasant surprises to deal with in the future.

Thank you for any information you all can provide.

I would suspect that your refresher course covered the transition material. I would suggest contacting the refresher course vendor and find out from them if their refresher course actually covered the transitional material. I'd be surprised if they didn't...

I'm actually waiting for the vendor to reply to my inquiry sent before I posted. =]

If NREMT lists you as EMT not EMT-B you are already transitioned, that's what I found out.

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know =]
