Our Mission

The mission of the IBSC is to improve the quality of the care delivered by paramedics and other healthcare professionals functioning in a specialty environment by measuring and validating their knowledge and skills. This is accomplished by providing a family of specialty certification exams that are an objective, fair, and honest validation of a unique domain of knowledge.

By offering the only specialty examination process of its kind, the IBSC offers validation of the best practices in care and creates a de facto National and International standard for critical care transport, flight paramedic, tactical paramedic, designated infection control officer and community paramedic practitioner.

If you have questions concerning the board or the administration of the exam, please contact the board chairman at gpierce@ibsc.org
