The Virginia Office of EMS Emergency Medical Services Training Fund (EMSTF) program is designed to provide financial assistance for Virginia Certified Basic and Advanced Life Support EMS providers and Virginia Office of EMS (OEMS) approved initial basic certification programs. These funds supplement local and individual support for EMS training.
The Emergency Medical Services Training Funds monies are available for expenses related to certification, auxiliary and continuing education programs whose lessons are based upon or resemble the learning objectives in the United States Department of Transportation's Intermediate-99 and Paramedic curricula and the Enhanced curricula as defined in 12 VAC 5-31. These funds are designed for non-profit entities and individuals participating in Virginia's EMS System.
The Emergency Medical Services Training Funds monies are divided into 5 broad categories: tuition reimbursement, course funding, auxiliary programs, continuing education programs and training site accreditation. For more details concerning funding amounts please click here to download and view the EMSTF PowerPoint presentation and the EMSTF Administrative Guidelines for FY09.
