Explanation of Box 9: Naloxone/Epinephrine Administration
Effective July 1 2017 the skills verification form was updated to reflect changes to California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22 EMT regulations governing EMT scope of practice allowing Local EMS Agencies to incorporate Naloxone and Epinephrine into EMS system protocols for EMTs functioning as part of the organized EMS System.
The CCR Title 22 regulations mandate all EMTs renewing certification after July 1, 2019 present proof of competency to their certifying Local EMS Agency with renewal application.
CVEMSA EMS System providers completing LEMSA-Approved training and competency testing prior to July 1, 2019 may have the Skills Verification Form signed by the trainer as a verification of competency.
