Welcome to the EMS Role Model Recognition Program. Our mission is to promote and recognize EMS excellence.
Choose from 20 outcome measures across the five pillars of EMS excellence. Each measure you select is independently compared with results from 60 similarly sized EMS departments. Your department’s percentile ranking determines which recognition badge it will receive:
- EMS Excellence Recognition: Departments ranking in the 51st through 74th percentile receive the silver badge.
- EMS Role Model Recognition: Departments ranking in the 75th through 100th percentile receive the gold badge.
The first step toward getting your department the recognition it deserves is to download the 2026 EMS Recognition Measures.
