On going education for MFR, EMT's, EMT specialist, and EMT-A (paramedic's) are now available on line. This is from the Marquette county medical control office Allison Sundberg, www.ems-ce.com, www.emcert.com, www.eminet.com, www.miemseducation.com. Departments / Townships that support an EMS division may want to look into subscribing to one of the online continuing education programs as a cost saving venue. Rather than a once a year, I have got to send the entire department to the conference.
