AB  - The  practice  of  EMS  Medicine  continues  to  evolve,  bringing  greater  expectations  of  the  physicians  who  provide  field  care  and  medical  oversight.  Physicians  are  integral  components  in  the  medical  direction  of  ambulance  agencies,  fire  departments,  rescue  squads,  law  enforcement  organizations,  and  emergency  management  agencies.  Physician  field  response  is  becoming  a  more  regular  component  of  modern  EMS  systems  and  EMS  physicians  are  becoming  more  defined  in  their  scope  of  practice.  The  breadth  of  knowledge  and  skills  required  to  serve  as  a  competent  EMS  physician  is  unique  and  rapidly  expanding.  The  advent  of  board-certification,  start  of  ACGME-accreditation  of  fellowship  programs,  and  the  continuous  broadening  of  the  clinical  practice  of  EMS  Medicine  has  made  the  formal  study  of  the  art  and  practice  even  more  essential  than  ever  before.
