In 2007 we added one more day to better serve EMS personnel (Thursday), and this year we done it again. We'll have a full day of training on Wednesday April 2 for Emergency Medical Dispatchers, Paramedics, and four hours for EMS Leaders and Trainers.
Once again this year, pre-conference workshops will be available for First Responders and EMT's of all skill levels, Trainers and Educaters, EMS Leaders, or any person who desires to operate in one of these positions. The general Conference is Saturday and Sunday, has general sessions in the morning, and in the afternoon attendees have a choice of sessions to attend.
