This two-day workshop will offer a modern spin on the traditional EMT refresher program. Rather than click through tired textbook slides, these sessions will focus on student engagement and embrace the most important and relevant topics of modern prehospital medicine and operations. Students will discuss up-to-date clinical developments; review evidence-based best practices; and engage the critical thinking skills necessary to excel as a practitioner in the modern world of dynamic EMS. These sessions will shift from the mindset of a simple refresher and push toward the essential concepts of continuing education. EMTs and CFRs will earn 16 hours of BLS core content that may be applied towards NYS CME-Based Recertification. Attending this course for two consecutive years will satisfy all your core content requirements for recertification. These 16 hours may also be applied towards the Mandatory Core Content required by the NREMT by meeting the objectives of the EMS National Education Standards.
