Welcome!

The UMC EMS Continuing Education outreach program offers Texas DSHS and NREMT-approved education for ECAs, EMTs, AEMTs, and paramedics without any cost to you. We are also working with UMC Trauma & Burn to provide CNE for emergency center nurses in the near future.

We offer a variety of formats including video-based education or PDF reading resources. For prehospital providers recertifying with their NREMT, this will be considered as distributed education, so please be aware of how many hours of CE you can use every two years. To get started, create a new account… once you’ve logged into your account, you’ll see a list of courses immediately available to you. The educational resource(s) are embedded or linked within the course itself.

Featured Courses:

Jurisprudence Exam for Texas ECAs, EMTs, AEMTs, and paramedics. This PDF-based course fulfills the Texas DSHS requirement for your Jurisprudence Exam needs and offers 1 hour of CE towards recertification. Not a required course for NREMTs who live/work outside of Texas. This is just a Texas special.
  • The LVAD Encounter
COMING SOON! The 2021 Update: LVAD Encounter. This is a long read (74 page PDF book) but explores all you want and need to know about patients with an LVAD. Offers three hours of CE credit in various content areas for Texas state and/or NREMT EMTs, AEMTs, and paramedics.
