Section 163-3-A-6 - Personnel Requirements for Emergency Medical Dispatch Centers1. An Emergency Medical Dispatch Center must use Maine EMS licensed Emergency Medical Dispatchers to receive, evaluate and process all calls for medical assistance, except that a dispatcher-in-training, under direct supervision of a Maine EMS licensed emergency medical dispatcher designated by the EMD Center director, may process calls using the emergency medical dispatch protocol after the dispatcher-in-training has attended the Maine EMS approved certification course for emergency medical dispatch. For purposes of this paragraph, direct supervision means that the designated licensed emergency medical dispatcher is contemporaneously listening to the call for medical assistance being processed by the dispatcher-in-training and is able to assume control of the call and provide emergency medical dispatch, if the dispatcher-in-training is unable to process the call in accordance with protocol.2. An Emergency Medical Dispatch Center director must notify Maine EMS when Emergency Medical Dispatchers are employed or terminated from employment by the Center. Notification must be made electronically or by mail within five days of the employment or termination of employment of an Emergency Medical Dispatcher.16-163 C.M.R. ch. 3, § A-6
