Emergency Medical Staff Education Credits. CME (Continuing Medical Education) has long been the standard for physicians, but it was never built for emergency medical service personnel. EMSSEC closes that gap: a dedicated, equally-weighted credit framework for EMS staff across Europe and worldwide.
Hands-on refreshers in airway management, IV access, and patient assessment, updated to current evidence-based protocols.
Medication administration, dosing updates, and drug interaction awareness for pre-hospital emergency care.
Advanced trauma response, critical care transport, and multi-casualty incident management.
Scene command, interagency coordination, and the professional and ethical standards expected of EMS staff.
EMSSEC credits carry the same weight as CME credits. If you've already earned CME credits elsewhere — through medical education, joint training, or interdisciplinary courses — you can upload proof of completion and have them count directly toward your EMSSEC balance. The two systems are designed to be interoperable, not competing.
