Go back and check the NREMTs newsletters. The "EMT-Paramedic" is to be known as "Paramedic". Currently the post-nominals are still "NREMT-P", but when 're-certified' it will then be "NRP" for Nationally Registered Paramedic.
This is due to the NHTSA taking EMT off of Paramedic.
I'm aware of what the future holds. But for the time being, I'm afraid medics still have to mingle with the likes of their fellow EMTs. I hear that in 2018, the Registry will be replacing the "medic" in Paramedic with "god."
