EMS
Region II EMS is here to provide support to the EMS community in New Mexico. If you can’t find an answer to a difficult question, call us, we will find the answer for you, or point you in the right direction. Need help filling out the application for Fund Act, or a grant proposal, we can help. Need to find training? We can help find it, or possibly provide the training for you thru our CE Circuit. We will keep you up to date with information and deadlines on Fund Act Applications. Don’t forget about the valuable training we will be offering at the Southern Rio Grande EMS Conference in November! Keep checking the calendar for upcoming training and events as well as updates on the conference.
Trauma
Our goal at Region II EMS is to provide technical support to the hospitals and EMS community in New Mexico in a variety of areas of Trauma Care. We will assist the hospitals in their efforts to become a Designated Trauma Center. Currently, in Region II, Sierra Vista Hospital in Truth or Consequences is in the process of becoming a Level IV Trauma Center. We continue to work with all the hospitals in preparing to move in the direction of trauma designation. We actively participate in the Far West Texas and Southern New Mexico Regional Advisory Council on Trauma, the Border RAC. The Border RAC has multiple opportunities for training as well as technical assistance. This collaboration with the hospitals and EMS System in Texas is a valuable partnership for us in Region II. We also participate in the Trauma Advisory System Stakeholders Council (TASSC), the Trauma Nurse Coordinator Forum (TNCF) and Trauma Systems Fund Authority (TSFA). Keep watching our page for updates and deadlines for the TSFA Applications. Funds are made available each year for Trauma System improvements.

Renewal Changes
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
