An EMS provider's post-nominal (listed after the name) credentials usually follow his or her name in this order:

Generally, credentials are listed from most to least prestigious. A degree, once earned, cannot be taken away. Sometimes, licensure and certifications must be periodically renewed by examination or the completion of a prescribed number of continuing education units (CEUs).

EMS providers may also hold non-EMS credentials, including academic degrees. These are usually omitted unless they are related to the provider's job. For instance, a paramedic might not list an MBA, but a supervisor might choose to do so.

The provider's credentials are separated from the person's name (and from each other) with commas. There are usually no periods within the credentials (e.g. "EMT" not "E.M.T." or "PMD" not "Paramedic").

This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items. (January 2009)
