Emergency Medical Practice Advisory Council
(EMPAC)
This advisory council was
established October 2010 as a result of the statutory transfer of the regulatory
authority for the scope of practice of EMS providers and EMS
medical director oversight from the former Board of Medical Examiners to the
Department of Public Health and Environment (department). The Emergency Medical
Practice Advisory Council, under the direction of the executive director of the
department., is responsible for advising the department regarding the
appropriate scope of practice for EMS providers, including
waivers to scope of practice, and for criteria for physicians to serve as EMS
medical directors.
As a result of
the creation of the EMPAC, the former Medical Direction Committee has been
disbanded.
