Renewal of Approval as a Chief Examiner and Examiner

The Department may renew approval of a Chief Examiner or Examiner for an additional term to run concurrently with his or her EMT certification. A Chief Examiner or Examiner must apply for renewal or approval on a form provided by the Department, no later than 60 calendar days prior to the expiration of the current approval. A person with an expired approval as a Chief Examiner or Examiner may not oversee or administer, as applicable, the Department’s psychomotor examination. (A) To be eligible for renewal of approval, a Chief Examiner or Examiner must: (1) Continue to meet the requirements of 105 CMR 170.942 applicable to his or her level of approval, except that Chief Examiners or Examiners approved by the Department prior to January 6, 2023, may continue to have at least two years of experience in providing pre- hospital emergency medical care as an EMT at a level equal to or greater than the EMT level for which the test is administered; and (2) During the term of the immediate past approval period, have received a favorable evaluation from the Department as a Chief Examiner or an Examiner, as applicable. The Department’s evaluation of an Examiner will be based, at a minimum, on evaluations by Chief Examiners. (B) The Department shall provide written confirmation of renewed approval as a Chief Examiner or Examiner, as applicable, to an applicant who successfully documents completion of the requirements of 105 CMR 170.943 and against whom there are no past enforcement actions of the Department with respect to that applicant, either as an EMT, a Chief Examiner or an Examiner, precluding renewed approval.
