This is a workshop that you will not want to miss. You can visit www.naemse.org for more registration information.

Challenge yourself! Take the opportunity to be one of only a handful of individuals across the country who can call themselves Nationally Certified Emergency Educators. You will stand proud  when your supervisor, director and fellow EMS educators acknowledge  that you passed the National Certification Exam.

According to Bruce Evans, EMS Chief for the city of North Las Vegas, who took the exam,
“The EMSECS certification exam is a great capstone to benchmark your professional career and validate your skills and knowledge as a master EMS instructor”.

The EMSECS Certification exam will be given in Pittsburgh, PA on January 16, 2009 at the Pittsburgh Marriott Hotel in Coraopolis, PA at 9:30 AM.  It will also be given in Indianapolis, IN on January 16, 2009 at 7:00 PM at the Clarion Health/Methodist Hospital, Wile Hall, Room 320 located at 1701 N. Senate Blvd in Indianapolis, IN.
