Podcast - Strength in Numbers
[Featuring Chad Black, NRP] By Medic Class Citizen

In a recent podcast, Medic Class Citizen discusses the benefits of membership in professional organizations for licensed EMS personnel.

From MCC: "Join us as we welcome Georgia EMS Association Chair Chad Black, as we dive in to examples of benefits that every listener across the country should be seeking out in their individual states, provinces, territories and regions through affiliation in professional organizations.

Chad also shares incredibly valuable experience from his years of leadership in various EMS agencies, as he worked his way from an EMT on the ambulance, to paramedic, to Battalion Chief and regional manager (air medical) to Director of Emergency Services. We discuss ways professional organizations provide benefits ranging from continuing education opportunities, leadership and development training, pensions and retirement, to political and legislative representation on Capitol Hill (Senate Bill 102, alongside our very own, Jason Grady).

We round out the episode by discussing Chad's involvement in working toward administering whole blood in the pre-hospital field throughout certain regions of Georgia, and the steps he and those involved had to take in order to get the pilot program approved and off the ground."

CE Certificates for Past Conferences

If you have attended a past conference or event hosted by the Georgia EMS Association, you were provided a continuing education transcript with a list of your continuing education hours either at the event or electronically after the events.  (Note: 2018 Providers and Educators Conference certificates were provided through medic-ce.com.)

If you need a replacement continuing education transcript, there is a $5 charge for this service.  All you have to do is fill out the form on this page and complete the payment information.  Within 3-5 business days of receiving your request and payment, we'll e-mail you a new copy of your transcript.

Starting with the 2019 Providers & Educators Conference and moving forward, all sessions were uploaded for you into the state system, so you will no longer need a certificate to do that.

2020 Sponsors & Exhibitors

Sponsor and exhibitor registration is open for 2020 including corporate sponsorships and sponsorship/exhibits for the Directors & Leadership Conference in March 2020. 

Now is a great time to mark your calendars and get us in your budget for next year.
