EMS Online is a continuing education resource that offers online, interactive courses and content for emergency medical service professionals.

EMS Online is a continuing education program that offers online training for emergency medical service professionals, 365 days a year, with 24x7 access and 5-day a week technical support from dedicated staff.

What sets EMS Online apart from other training programs?

EMS Online offers an engaging mix of text, images, video, and interactive content that challenges the learner and is meant to compliment hands-on EMS training. We provide up-to-date information relevant to EMS providers, delivered through Ask the Doc, Case of the Month, ECG Review, and EMS Online News.

Other features include:

• Skills videos
• High-powered case studies based on actual situations
• Media rich classes with supplemental course materials

“Since it’s inception, EMS Online has offered nearly 250 EMT and Dispatch courses and over 21,000 subscribers have taken exams for recertification.”

Paramedic

One of a kind advanced life support (ALS) content is available to Paramedics through the Tuesday Series monthly lecture, in which renowned experts in their field discuss cutting edge EMS research and evidence based practices. Past topics have included: Tourniquets, Cardiovascular Drug Toxicity, Sports Concussions, just to name a few. Videos of these lectures are available on EMS Online in association with the University of Washington Medical School / Harborview Medical Center Paramedic Training Program.

 

 

 

 

“Tuesday Series Paramedic Training features monthly lectures by nationally recognized experts.”

EMT

EMS Online provides EMT courses with accurate, up to date information on basic life support (BLS) skills, focusing on procedures and processes you are likely to encounter in the field. Concepts are illustrated through the use of graphics, photos, interactions, case studies and video scenarios. Additional resources, practice quizzes and recertification exams are included as part of the courses.

 

 

 

“I think these on-line reviews and tests are a very good way of keeping my knowledge up to date. I also like the fact that I can stay certified by taking these tests over time instead of all at once because I get test anxiety.”

Dispatchers

Understanding the important role emergency dispatchers play in the chain of survival, King County Emergency Services implemented an Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) program for King County, Washington in 1990. This essential program includes medically approved emergency medical dispatch triage guidelines for telecommunicators, a comprehensive training program, quality improvement measures and ongoing research. The EMD courses affiliated with this program are available through EMS Online.

“Dispatchers serve a critical role in the chain of survival.”
