![]() This difference was also seen for paramedic programs on first attempt (77.3% vs. ![]() EMT programs in the highest quartile for total number of graduates testing outperformed the lowest quartile in both first attempt (65.7% vs. We excluded 262 (11.9%) EMT and 51 (7.8%) paramedic programs with ≤5 graduates testing annually due to unstable estimates of program pass rates. Results: We included 1,939 EMT programs (6–1,892 graduates testing/program) and 602 paramedic programs (6–689 graduates testing/program). Descriptive statistics were calculated for program pass rates, total graduates testing, and pass rates by National Association of State EMS Officials (NASEMSO) regions. Included were civilian EMT and paramedic programs with >5 graduates testing for certification. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional evaluation of EMT and paramedic programs’ first and cumulative third attempt pass rates on the National Registry Cognitive Examination in 2015. ![]() Our objective was to evaluate the performance of EMT and paramedic programs in the United States, pass rates on the National Registry Cognitive Examinations, and relationship to geography. However, program pass rates and their associated geographic location have not previously been evaluated. Introduction: The quality of an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) or paramedic training program is likely one factor that contributes to a candidate’s success on the National Registry Cognitive Examination. ![]()
