National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP)

What National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) does

The National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) is a private nonprofit professional membership organization founded in 1985. It serves EMS physicians and medical directors, EMS fellows, and EMS educators through clinical guidance, education, professional development, peer-reviewed publishing, and advocacy. Its primary members are individuals responsible for EMS medical direction, oversight, education, fellowship training, and research rather than EMS technology buyers.

NAEMSP's core portfolio includes professional membership; an annual meeting and trade show; certification review courses; the Foundations of Medical Oversight Course; a year-long Quality & Safety Course; FAEMS fellowship resources; the peer-reviewed Prehospital Emergency Care journal; position statements; the Prehospital Guidelines Consortium; the Prodigy Library; a searchable resource hub; and three branded podcasts. Delivery is primarily through a website, digital resources, live and virtual education, events, and publications. The organization discloses no proprietary application, API, SDK, artificial intelligence capability, or software platform architecture.

NAEMSP primarily generates revenue from membership fees and annual meeting registration fees, supplemented by certification and educational offerings; a branded merchandise store is also operated. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization reaches members and prospects through direct online enrollment, annual events, webinars, newsletters, podcasts, publications, its resource hub, and strategic media partnerships. Distribution materials describe a global professional membership base, while operating-geography data identifies the United States as its market.
