The Regional Emergency Medical Advisory Committee (REMAC) of New York City Prehospital Treatment Protocols define the minimum standard of care provided to patients by Certified First Responders (CFRs), Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), and Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians-Paramedic (AEMT-Ps) in New York City.  These protocols reflect both the curriculum and certification requirements of the New York State Department of Health Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and the Regional Emergency Medical Advisory Committee (REMAC) of New York City.

The REMAC of New York City has proposed revisions to the current regional Prehospital Treatment Protocols.
