We are incredibly proud to share that the National Registry's Research Director, Dr. Ashish Panchal, was featured on national news to discuss the release of the 2025 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care!

These critical updates are designed to simplify and improve life-saving efforts by the public. New recommendations include:
✅ Conscious Choking: Alternating five back blows and five abdominal thrusts for adults and children.
✅ Opioid Emergencies: Specific guidance on the immediate use of naloxone.

Dr. Panchal reminds us: "CPR saves lives. We need your support to ensure that everyone who needs CPR receives it. That starts with learning it yourself."

Everyone has a role to play in the chain of survival!

Our Story

It has been nearly five decades since President Lyndon Johnson's Committee on Highway Traffic Safety recommended the creation of a national certification agency to establish uniform standards for training and examination of personnel active in the delivery of emergency ambulance service. The result of this recommendation was the inception of the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (The Registry) in 1970. Prior to the 1970’s, a national certification standard for emergency medical care did not exist. Since then, The Registry has certified over two million EMS providers. Today, over 330,000 individuals are Nationally Certified at the Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Advanced-EMT (AEMT), or Paramedic level. Entry requirements for national EMS certification include completing a state-approved EMS education course, and passing the National Registry cognitive and psychomotor examinations.
