ATEMSP Committees

Committees are the most important operational component of ATEMSP.    

Committees are comprised of one to five EMS professionals focusing on a specific operational domain. This focus allows the ATEMSP community to create organizational sustainability while driving professional change. ATEMSP committees are simply the focused, organized work of individual Texas EMS professionals.
