Chief Medical Officer designation for EMS pros

The Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE)…the organization formally known as the Commission on Fire Accreditation International, Inc…has established a national recognition standard for personnel who have built a professional career in emergency medical services. The designation of Chief Medical Officer, or CMO, is similar in construct to the long-established Chief Fire Officer (CFO). Unlike the CFO title, the Chief Medical Officer designation is open to a diverse group of EMS service leaders; private EMS, hospital-based, fire service EMS, and commercial EMS are all eligible to gain this designation as are medical professionals other than EMT’s and Paramedics.

 

Unfortunately, there is very little on the CPSE website. But, you can find what they have to offer at http://publicsafetyexcellence.org/
