2024 Virginia EMS Symposium Update

As the Virginia Office of EMS (OEMS) continues to face financial challenges and works towards a more sound fiscal strategy, it has been determined there will be no statewide EMS Symposium held in 2024. OEMS understands the importance of in-person training and has collaborated with Virginia’s Regional EMS Councils and other EMS partners to continue offering additional educational opportunities and resources.
