MEDICAL TRAINING PROGRAMS AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

At Freedom Valley Medical Training Institute, we provide you with hands-on training programs that allow you to apply first aid skills and knowledge. We are committed to on-going program development that keeps pace with current practices in pre-hospital emergency care in the county and the region. As a fully trained emergency provider we will keep you informed of opportunities to keep your skills current. We will notify you of upcoming re-certification courses and training opportunities that may be of interest to you.

CONTINUING EDUCATION

To access free online continuing education courses, visit TRAIN PA. Providers may go on to this site and register themselves.

Courses completed on TRAIN PA have the credits electronically transferred into the provider’s state records. Typically, there is no need to send completion certificates to your regional EMS office.

To check on your continuing education credit, visit the PA EMS Registry.

Go in under the “Continuing Education Records/EMS Registry System” link. You will need to register the first time you log on. The Regional EMS office no longer sends status reports annually. Providers should be checking their own records online.

If you're having continuing education issues that involve classes not being applied to status reports or errors on status reports, call the EMS Training Institute at (484) 282-0844.

Waiting List Status for Training Events:

If you register for a training course and are placed on the waiting list for that course, you will be contacted if space becomes available. If space is not available, your registration will not automatically roll over to a future course. You must re-register for each subsequent course.

Training Certificates:

Attendees of the face-to-face training sessions receive a certificate of course completion. Certificates are provided for participation in PA Dept of Health, Bureau of EMS approved continuing education training webinars.
