What is NEMSA?
The National EMS Academy or "NEMSA" exists to educate entry-level EMTs and paramedics. We provide continuing education and training for a number of EMS career pathways and collaborate with other organizations with similar interests.

Who makes it work?
The full-time faculty and staff include 36 members with diverse backgrounds including prehospital emergency care, medical education, technology, research and support functions. Additional part-time adjunct faculty participate in curricula development and skills training.
