The curriculum guidelines will be the objectives of the 2001 US DOT EMT-Paramedic Refresher Course. The program will consist of a Monday-Thursday lecture-style component, followed by two OPTIONAL days where participants may take ACLS and PALS refresher courses.
Completion of the lecture component will meet all NREMT-P mandatory and flexible core content areas with the exception of 8 hours in airway, breathing, cardiology and 8 hours in OB/Peds. If participants elect to take the optional ACLS and PALS refresher modules then ALL hours will be met for the required 48 hour paramedic refresher course.

Instructors
Paramedic refresher course instructors will be content area experts and will consist of EMT-Ps, RNs, PAs and MDs.
Target Audience
This course is intended for NREMT-Paramedic certified providers who are preparing for NREMT-P recertification and need CE topics/hours to meet refresher requirements. It is also appropriate for individuals who simply need EMT-P level CE for any reason. NC participants should ensure that their EMS System will accept CE from an outside entity.
NORTH CAROLINA PERSONNEL ONLY: If your NC EMT-P credential has EXPIRED you will need to find a refresher program that includes the NCOEMS mandated Technical Scope of Practice Evaluation (TSOPE). This program does not include a TSOPE practical component, and thus cannot be used to renew an EXPIRED credential.
If you do not have a provider and need to re-credential your NC Paramedic we have a mechanism in place to assist you with that. Please contact us for further information.
