The National Fire Academy has finalized two new EMS courses. "Emergency Medical Services Quality Management" is a six-day course offering to be conducted on the NETC campus, and "Emergency Medical Services Functions in the Incident Command System" is a two-day course offering to be conducted either on the NETC campus or locally through partnerships with state and metropolitan fire service training organizations.

The courses were developed in response to the U.S. Fire Administration Reauthorization Act of 2008. An additional six courses are in the process of development or revision.
