Dear Colleagues,



I hope this finds you all doing well.



As the summer draws quickly to an end, it is hard to believe that it is time for yet another licensure renewal period to begin. This year, the EMS Bureau is making a change in what you are required to submit with your renewal packet, with the hopes of reducing your mailing costs and the amount of waste generated.



As you know, the Licensure Rule (7.27.2.10 NMAC) requires that all licensure levels must complete a set number of Continuing Education (CE) hours in order to renew a license. In the past, we have required the originals and/or copies of all of your CE certificates to document your completion of this requirement. Beginning with this renewal cycle, for the CE requirement only, we are asking that you simply list your EMS Bureau approved CE classes and associated information on the Continuing Education Documentation Form. This form is available on our website, along with the renewal application.



The following specific documentation must continue to be submitted:

• Application for renewal

• Approved and valid CPR certification

• An EMS Bureau approved refresher course certificate, or the blueprinted CE equivalents appropriate for your level. If submitting CE equivalents, you must submit the original CE certificates in lieu of the refresher certificate. Listing CE equivalents for a refresher on the documentation form discussed above will not suffice.

• For Paramedics, an approved and valid advanced cardiac life support certification.

• All of the standard fees and required signatures





The EMS Bureau will be auditing 10 – 20% of the applications we receive. If an individual is selected for an audit, the individual must provide the original and/or copies of the CE certificates listed on the submitted documentation form. Anyone who has provided fraudulent information is subject to discipline per Licensing Rule (7.27.2.13 G(2)NMAC). If an individual from an EMS service has provided fraudulent information, all of the individuals at that service will be subject to an audit of their renewal application documentation as well.



We believe that this change will allow for a more efficient licensure renewal period. Thank you for your dedication to our profession. Be safe!



Sincerely,

Kyle L. Thornton

EMS Bureau Chief
