This Compact is designed to achieve the following purposes and objectives:  1. Increase public access to EMS personnel. 2. Enhance the states' ability to protect the public's health and safety, especially patient safety. 3. Encourage the cooperation of member states in the areas of EMS personnel licensure and regulation. 4. Support licensing of military members who are separating from an active duty tour and the spouses of military members. 5. Facilitate the exchange of information between member states regarding EMS personnel licensure, adverse action, and significant investigatory information. 6. Promote compliance with the laws governing EMS personnel practice in each member state. 7.
