PORTSMOUTH, VA —
Daryl Clements, a former deputy sheriff and paramedic in Crisp County has been recognized for achieving 20 consecutive years as a Nationally Registered Paramedic.
Clements who now serves as a firefighter/paramedic with Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Fire & Emergency Services and Portsmouth Fire-Rescue in Portsmouth, VA received the recognition from the board of directors of the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT). Few EMT’s qualify for this honor.
To maintain his status as a Nationally Registered Paramedic, Clements must complete, on a biennial basis, a comprehensive recertification program for EMT’s.
He not only completed courses to refresh his fundamental knowledge and skills but also attended a minimun of two hours per month of additional continuing education courses to advance his knowledge on new lifesaving skills.
By maintaining his Nationally Registered status and completing regular continuing education courses, Clements is among the few elite EMT’s with the most training in pre-hospital emergency medical care in the nation.
He became a Nationally Registered Paramedic in 1990 and has been serving the Hampton Roads, VA community since then.
In addition to his work as a paramedic, Clements serves on the adjunct faculty in the Health Sciences Division of Tidewater Community College in Virginia Beach, VA.
The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians serves as the national EMS certification organization by providing a valid, uniform process to assess the knowledge and skills required for competent practice by EMS professionals throughout their careers and by maintaining a registry of certification status.
