TEMSEA was originally organized in 1988 as the West Tennessee EMS Educator’s Association, formed in an effort to provide EMS Educators a unified voice in the way EMS education was conducted. However, the organizers recognized that the needs and visions were the same across the state. So, in early 1990, educators from Middle and East Tennessee joined the association and thus the name change, The Tennessee EMS Education Association.
TEMSEA is a 501(c) (6) non-profit professional association committed to educator development, growth, academic achievement, leadership, and professional EMS and EMS Education in Tennessee. We work closely with the TN Department of Health EMS Division to provide educator development and advocate legislation and regulations that promote EMS and EMS Education growth and development.
