Survey Shows Enthusiasm for AEMT Voluntary Accreditation

CoAEMSP surveyed 293 AEMT Program Directors regarding their potential interest in voluntary accreditation.

The key finding: AEMT Program Directors are enthusiastic about voluntary AEMT accreditation.

Two-thirds of respondents (65%) believe voluntary accreditation for AEMT programs would potentially benefit their program and 59% of respondents are likely to seek voluntary accreditation.

Half of the respondents (50%) are from CAAHEP accredited Paramedic programs (132), and 65% of them are very or somewhat likely to pursue AEMT accreditation.

The survey also revealed that AEMT Program Directors are familiar with programmatic accreditation.

More than three-quarters of respondents (78%) are familiar with accreditation, and 4 out of 5 respondents (83%) are familiar with CAAHEP or CoAEMSP.
