Emergency medical assistants have been regulated under British Columbia legislation since 1975. Before the Board was established, they were regulated by the Emergency and Health Services Commission.
The Board is composed of three members appointed
by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, one of whom must be an emergency medical
assistant and one of whom must be a medical practitioner.
