EMP America, Inc. and EMP International, Inc. have been merged into one corporation and, effective April 1, 2002, will do business as MEDIC FIRST AID International, Inc. Corporate identity is an evolving process. The original company name, Emergency Medical Planning, Inc., was an accurate reflection of the company focus at that time. When the business shifted from response planning to training, the name was shortened to EMP. When the MEDIC FIRST AID name was conceived and introduced in 1980, it reflected the merging of professional level emergency (Medic) with lay rescuers (First Aid) to create a continuity of care.

As the MEDIC FIRST AID Family of Programs has evolved and become more established, the EMP America and EMP International names have caused some confusion. So, for simplification purposes and to better reflect the company's purpose, MEDIC FIRST AID International, Inc. will be the company's name. When you reach for a product with the MEDIC FIRST AID name and logo, you can count on over twenty-five years of commitment to providing you and your clients superior response training products.

MEDIC FIRST AID International, Inc., is a worldwide leader in CPR, first aid, and emergency care training programs, products and services for business, industry, and the general public. MEDIC FIRST AID training programs are recognized throughout the world by governments, associations, and corporations as meeting regulatory requirements for workplace safety and health. More than 79,000 instructors in over 140 countries have taught MEDIC FIRST AID training programs to over 8 million people.
