EMS Advisory Committee

The Idaho EMS Advisory Committee (EMSAC) responsibilities include gathering data and information on industry trends, national standards, clinical developments, regulatory agencies, and additional sources of information affecting EMS agencies around the state of Idaho and the nation. EMSAC then uses this data to advise the Idaho Bureau of EMS of actions and directions that should be considered to continuously improve EMS agencies in our state. EMS Advisory Committee official meetings are open to the public, and anyone who practices, serves with, or has interest in Idaho EMS is encouraged to attend.

The Bureau of Emergency Medical Services is now part of the Idaho Military Division (IMD)!

The Health and Welfare website is temporarily hosting online content until it is migrated to IMD. This video provides additional details.
