NAEMSP is proud to announce the 2024 class of Fellows of the Academy of Emergency Medical Services (FAEMS). This prestigious designation honors members’ exceptional contributions to the EMS profession and their commitment to advancing EMS medicine. Congratulations to the 67 newly inducted fellows who join a distinguished group of 535 previous honorees.

NAEMSP is profoundly affected by the news of Dr. Ron Stewart’s death last evening after a prolonged illness. Ron was legendary in emergency medicine and a founding member of NAEMSP, serving as its very first president after its inception in 1984. Throughout his storied career, Ron was a guiding light for the organization, and even after passing his innumerable contributions to emergency medicine will continue to inspire and inform the work of the organization and the advancement of EMS as a whole.

Registration has officially opened for NAEMSP’s 2025 Annual Meeting, taking place January 6-11 in San Diego, CA. Learn more about what’s in store for #NAEMSP2025 and register to attend the Annual Meeting today!

From opioid overdose to alcohol-related emergencies, prehospital clinicians are often the first point of contact for individuals in crisis. Despite this, there remains a significant gap in understanding and effectively managing prehospital care for patients with SUD. Therefore, this special issue of Prehospital Emergency Care aims to explore innovative approaches, best practices, and evidence-based strategies for improving care and patient outcomes for patients with SUD.
