Emergency Medical Services leadership education that prepares students for the complexities of the profession is needed. Likewise, the need for EMS leadership education and training to be part of continuing education is supported. Both are viewed as a way to advance the EMS profession. A need for further research on the topic of EMS leadership is recognized, and supported, with a call for action on suggested topics identified within the study.

EMS curricula have historically focused on a technical scope of practice designed to meet the traditional out-of-hospital "emergency response" function during 9-1-1 response and transport. However, EMS has served an increasingly broad clinical role to meet the health care and public health needs of communities, a role solidified by the events of 2020, from the COVID-19 pandemic to civil unrest in response to systemic inequities. The requisite knowledge, awareness, and competencies to adequately prepare EMS clinicians to meet these dynamic roles remains absent from the technician-focused EMS curricula. Graduates of EMS programs must now meet the rigors of EMS practice as clinicians, being prepared for higher order thinking and lifelong learning. As one of the stakeholders in EMS education, the NAEMSP® believes that:• Clinical decision making grounded in higher order thinking skills and evidence-based practice is fundamental to the provision of optimal patient care in the out-of-hospital environment.• EMS curricula must expand beyond core content required for the scope of practice at each level for technical skills and focus on developing a competency framework aligned with the role and need for EMS medicine as a versatile community health care resource. A comprehensive curriculum for EMS clinicians should align with the vision outlined by EMS Agenda 2050 by addressing the following areas: which supports the formation and maturation of a clinician. At the paramedic level, this supports an academic and interprofessional approach in forming the degreed paramedic clinician.

PurposeThis study aims to map and examine the existing evidence to provide an overview of what is known about the structure and characteristics of the Anglo-American paramedic system in developed countries.Design/methodology/approachThe review includes results examining the structure and characteristics of the Anglo-American paramedic system in English-speaking developed countries. Databases, including Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, CINAHL, Google Scholar and Epistemonikos, were searched from the inception of the databases. A grey literature search strategy was conducted to identify non-indexed relevant literature along with forward and backward searching of citations and references of included studies. Two reviewers undertook title and abstract screening, followed by full-text screening. Finally, data extraction was performed using a customised instrument. Included studies were summarised using narrative synthesis structured around broad themes exploring the structure and characteristics of the Anglo-American paramedic system.Findings The synthesis of information shows that varying models (or subsystems) exist within the Anglo-American paramedic system. The use of metaphorical models based on philosophical underpinnings are used to describe two novel subsystems within the Anglo-American paramedic system. These are the professionally autonomous and directive paramedic systems, with the directive model being further categorised into the rescue and hospital-managed submodels.Originality/valueThis study is the first of its kind to explore the modern subcategorisation of the Anglo-American paramedic system using a realist lens as the basis for its approach.
