The National EMS Pilots Association is the only professional association in the US that is dedicated to the representation and professional development of EMS pilots. NEMSPA is positioned to serve as a voice for pilots in the air medical transport industry, and within state and federal governmental agencies that oversee and regulate air medical operations in the US.
