The Program
The existence of collaborative partnerships has developed as an essential cornerstone of the provision of emergency medical care throughout the Nation. In an effort to sustain the full continuum of care, EMS services must work in conjunction with various other public service organizations and healthcare partners to include fire/rescue services, law enforcement, hospitals, health departments, and emergency management agencies. The designers of the EMS Care 2008 program have focused on these partnerships in the development of the theme “Putting the Pieces in Place.” In addition to workshops on the EMS interface with these partners, numerous topics in emergency medical care will be presented to afford conference participants the opportunity to expand upon their emergency medical services system knowledge. Conference participants will also have ample opportunity to browse an array of venders, as well as network with representatives from various local fire and EMS services, commercial ambulance services, and educational institutions.Continuing Education
All workshops are approved by MIEMSS for continuing education for ALS and BLS providers. EMT-Bs can fulfill all of the 12 hours of didactic (4 Medical, 4 Trauma, and 4 Local) training required for recertification. A 12-hour skills class is also available during the pre-conference activities. Be careful to pick workshops that will provide enough hours of each category. Conference staff will be available on-site to assist conference attendees with their CEU requirements. For specific questions regarding continuing education requirements, please contact the MIEMSS Office of Licensure and Certification at 410-706-3666.The Hotel
