A decade of recordings, now accessible
From 2010 to 2020, the Community Paramedicine Insights Forum (CPIF) and the International Roundtable on Community Paramedicine (IRCP) monthly calls documented the field as it was being built. Presenters joined from the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Sweden, and the Netherlands. The recordings capture the arguments, evidence, and program models that shaped community paramedicine’s development.
The audio recordings from 2010–2015 are preserved with machine-generated transcripts. CPIF sessions from 2017–2020 and IRCP 2017 presentation recordings are available on YouTube and embedded directly in the archive page.

Document library
750+ documents from across the field
The TPF document library is an open-access digital archive of the documents that shaped community paramedicine and rural prehospital care. These are not documents TPF produced — they are documents produced by EMS agencies, state offices, academic researchers, government bodies, and international organizations, collected and preserved here as a historical record of the field.
The library includes the complete IRCP annual meeting presentation archive (309 documents, 14 meeting years), the E.V.E.N.T. EMS patient safety report collection, peer-reviewed research, governance and legislative reference materials, and implementation toolkits from across North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
