so I was reading the NREMT changed there level titles. They appear to have dropped the technician part of "NREMT-P" and it has been changed to just "NRP."

I herd this takes place this year. Can anyone tell me exactly when this change officially takes place and when we are suppose to adopt the new title?

Thanks in advance

I've heard it has already taken place if you have re certified recently

The new standards are taking effect. You will officially become, "NRP" on your next renewal cycle *Nationally Registered Paramedic*.

First Responder will be NREMR = Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Responder

EMT-B = NREMT (Nationall Registered Emerg. Med technician)

EMT-Advanced = NRAEMT (Nationally Registered Advanced EMT)

EMT-P = NRP (Nationally Registered Paramedic)

The biggest change is that EMT-I/85 and 99 are going bye bye. I am still waiting to hear how the states are going to handle EMT-A, since there are still key differences between a current I and a future avanced. How will states that utiliize EMT-I's setup scopes for AEMT's? I am thinking the extra skills will still be taught in the AEMT programs, and they will do like TN has with EMT-IVs. The individuals are trained to i/85 level, but they actually test at NREMT-B. Assuming the same is true of a new program, I would say that the states will be given quite a bit of authority in choosing what these levels mean to each individual state.
 
Wait Rob I just re certified last month, so those of us who just re certified are called NRP effective now?
