All current EMSAT subscribers will continue to receive DVDs until the subscription date ends. EMSAT DVDs will still be available on loan from OEMS and local Regional EMS Councils in Virginia.

Due to current budget limitations, the Virginia Department of Health, Office of Emergency Medical Services will no longer be able to print and mail out EMSAT posters. Click on the poster icon to download and print the latest EMSAT poster! (a high quality color printer is necessary)

Is your squad interested in helping to produce an EMSAT program? If so, let us know! Contact Terry Coy at 804 221-2428.

EMSAT programs are scheduled in six-month increments. This schedule allows for greater flexibility to respond to the many changes that occur in our industry. The monthly topics covered in EMSAT are selected by the office staff of the Division of Educational Development (training).

EMSAT programs are intended to deliver instruction in two areas: required topics at the ALS and BLS levels, and enrichment classes that may not be widely available throughout the Commonwealth. We are always seeking suggestions for EMSAT programs, especially creative topics that push the envelope in EMS training.

We are continually seeking qualified EMSAT instructors as well, so please let us know if you have just taken "the best class from the best instructor". Suggestions for EMSAT may be sent to Terry Coy, EMSAT Producer, at (800) 523-6019 or (804) 612-3950.
