What does it take to keep your EMR current?
Current Board policy states that to remain current and in good standing the following must be met:
Current BLS for Healthcare Provider card
EMR refresher class at least once in a five year period
Drive the EVOC course at least once in a five year period (now included in the EMR Refresher)
Though not mandated it will benefit all EMRs to attend any meetings their squad holds. Our EMRs sometimes go a long period of time between responding to emergencies and refreshing your mind with the layout of the truck and equipment will make your next response smoother. Look at the training calendar on this site. I soon hope to have each squads meeting schedule posted there. If you see a class we are holding that interests you please feel free to attend. Regardless of the skill level the class may cover you are welcome to join us as I know you will pick up some information that will be useful in your future as a care provider. Just drop me a note letting me know you plan to attend so we can be sure to have everything ready for the class size.
