As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians announced March 13, 2020 two important modifications to the current recertification cycle for nationally registered EMS personnel.
NREMT’s board of directors approved a motion extending the current recertification deadline from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020, according to a statement on the NREMT website. Additionally, for registrants due to recertify March 31, 2020, distributive education (DE) limitations will be removed. This allows all continuing education to be accomplished outside of classrooms.
