“I’m a member of AAENP because they recognize and support innovative and unique subspecialty practices of emergency NPs, like EMS and Critical Care Transport.”

Jacob Miller wears many hats: Critical Care NP, flight nurse, educator, and advocate for expanding ENP practice in out-of-hospital environments. His work reflects a growing need for ENPs in mobile care systems—and AAENP is proud to support members in these advanced, evolving roles.

Our EMS Special Interest Group (SIG) and position paper on NP roles in EMS systems are just part of how we’re advancing specialty practice for our members.

Thanks for sharing your “why,” Jake—and thank you for the vital work you’re doing in the field.
