Dear EMS Service Directors,
In 2021, TASA completed their initial Statewide EMS Staffing Survey that assessed the current state of staffing across the state of Tennessee. We all remember that this was during the COVID-19 Pandemic which stretched our systems in unprecedented ways. Since that survey, legislation passed that allows EMS services to utilize the EMS-A (EMS Apprentice) aka Ambulance Operator position and the number of EMS services allowed to have their own service EMT/AEMT programs increased from 15 to 30.
This year we are sending out a follow up survey and TASA is requesting each EMS service to complete the 2024 Statewide EMS Staffing Survey. This follow up survey will allow comparative data to assess current state of staffing across the state of Tennessee. Once the survey information has been compiled and reviewed, TASA will share the results with you. The survey will be open until December 2, 2024.
The Survey Title: 2024 Statewide Tennessee EMS Staffing Survey Data

The survey is quick, and questions are the same as the 2021 survey with one additional question regarding the EMS-A (Ambulance Operator) position.
Thank you in advance for your participation and look forward to seeing the results. Please let us know if you have any questions.
