AbstractIn many parts of the world, emergency medical services (EMS) clinical care is traditionally delivered by different levels or types of EMS clinicians, such as emergency medical technicians and paramedics. In some areas, physicians are also included among the cadre of professionals administering EMS-based care. This is especially true in the interfacility transport (IFT) setting. Though there is significant overlap between the knowledge and skills necessary to safely and effectively provide care in the IFT and prehospital settings, the IFT care environment requires physicians to develop several additional competencies beyond those that are expected of traditional EMS clinicians. NAEMSP first published recommendations regarding what some of these competencies should be in 1983 and subsequently updated those recommendations in 2002. This document is an updated work, given the evolution of the field.
