EMT Options - Did You Know?

EMT's have the option to re-certify by obtaining 24 continuing education units (CEU's) instead of taking a traditional refresher course. When this option is utilized, at least half of the c.e. sessions must be in an instructor-based format and the required skills must be "verified" and documented on EMSA's Skills Competency Verification Form.
