The National Board of Emergency Care Certifications provides services to organizations and agencies that conduct emergency care education/certification programs to health care providers. In the United States, such programs are traditionally based on the most current published clinical recommendations and peer-reviewed medical/scientific literature. To foster standardization and consistency, NBECC provides individual program evaluation, and official certification of those programs that comply with nationally accepted, current standards.

NBECC operates under the direction of its Board of Regents, made up of experienced health care, legal and busineess professionals representing a wide range of expertise. Regents contribute direction in the areas of medicine, nursing, science and adult education. In addition, the Board contains several members at large to address general public issues and provide balance. All emergency care training programs must be based solely on the most recent published clinical recommendations of the American Heart Association to qualify for approval. The purpose is to assure consistency throughout the global health care network.
