Final answer:

The EMT-Intermediate level was changed to Advanced EMT in the most recent National EMS Education Standards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The level of EMS that was changed to Advanced EMT in the most recent National EMS Education Standards is the EMT-Intermediate. An EMT-Intermediate was a step between the basic EMT and Paramedic levels, offering more advanced skills than an EMT but not as many as a Paramedic. Under the new standards, the Advanced EMT level now provides a progressive level of education that includes basic and limited advanced skills focused on more complex knowledge and interventions, bridging the gap between EMT and Paramedic.
