Emergency Education Nights: Webinar series for health care providers

Join us for an engaging, year-long program for EMS and health care professionals. In 2025 we’re adding four special sessions — one each quarter — to explore advanced topics.

Gain lifesaving insights and practical strategies from top experts, covering everything from mass casualty management to advanced trauma care. Stay at the forefront of emergency care—at no cost.

Webinars cover topics including:

• Disease diagnosis, treatment and management of complex emergencies with major emphasis at prehospital level

• Common concerns and caregiving options

• Case studies and interactive discussions

• New research and developments in the most common pathologies you will observe in your daily practice

• Registration is free and available to health care providers.

Earn one hour of continuing education unit (CEU) with every live session, eligible for both state and NREMT recertification.

We strongly encourage participation of prehospital providers of all levels, also emergency department RNs and advanced practice providers (PAs, NPs). Physicians and students are also welcome.

Education sessions are held virtually using Teams on Wednesdays throughout the year at 6 p.m. CST.

Please register using the links below. Note: We have transitioned from Webex to Teams. If you registered for one of the sessions below prior to August 5, 2025, kindly re-register for the session so you can access the Teams link. We apologize for the inconvenience.
