 This is for ANY EMT that needs CEU's for their National Registry EMT or an individual interested in obtaining their Emergency Medical Responder (EMR).

These sessions will be offered in a similar pattern from 2023 - 2024 so if someone is not able to attend all of these sessions they could attend a session in that year. 

By attending all 8, it will meet the NREMT and State of Arkansas requirements.  

For the EMR they must attend all 8 concurrently, then we will assist the individual in obtaining their EMR through NREMT.
