EMSAT is a monthly, one-hour training and information program for Virginia EMS and Fire personnel. EMSAT webcasts and DVDs offer required EMS topics at the ALS and BLS levels, and enrichment classes that may not be widely available throughout the state. Certified Virginia EMS providers may receive category I and 2 continuing education credit by viewing an EMSAT webcast at a designated state site. Providers may also receive category III continuing education credit for viewing EMSAT DVDs.
EMSAT webcasts take place from 7:30-8:30PM on the third Wednesday of each month. OEMS Designated web-based sites must have the latest version of Media Windows Player, an LCD or DLP projector and a high-speed DSL (or faster) connection. We have noticed that not all internet service is created equal. The better your connection, the better it will look. To request an application to become a web-based EMSAT site, or for information on EMSAT sites, please contact Tracie Jones at the Virginia Office of EMS (800) 523-6019 or (804) 612-3950. For more information on taking part in EMSAT training, or questions about technical issues with EMSAT, please contact Terry Coy at (804) 612-3950.
EMSAT programs are also available via TRAIN Virginia. This means you can get Category 1 and 2 CE credit from the internet 24/7. All you need is DSL/high speed internet service. More>>
