 Do I have to be licensed in Maine to practice EMD or can I practice based upon my International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED) certification?

Solution

You must be licensed by Maine EMS in order to practice EMD in Maine, your IAED certification is not enough. Think of your IAED card as proof of training. You submit a copy of your IAED card along with an EMD license application to Maine EMS in order to apply for a new or renewal EMD license.

(Note: In 2013, the National Academies of Emergency Dispatch [NAED] changed its name to the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch [IAED], so your certification card may state NAED or IAED, depending upon the date the card was issued.)
