GENERAL INFORMATION
Continuing Education Credits
ND Department of Health - Division of EMS has approved the hours of this conference for continuing education for the EMR, EMT, AEMT, and Paramedic levels. NCCR sessions listed are based on the NREMT 2016 NCCP national content model. Visit the www.nremt.org website for more detailed NCCP information for your level.
Certificates
Certificates will be handed out at the conclusion of each session. It is your responsibility to secure these certificates at the end of each class. Put your name on the certificates so if they are lost, they can be returned. The number of CEU’s available can be estimated by looking at which sessions you plan to attend as the hours are found after each session description or topic. If you arrive more than 10 minutes after the start of the session or leave 10 minutes prior to the end of the session, NO CEU credit will be given.
