NEW THIS YEAR! Critical Care/Community Paramedic CE Credit/Certificates of Attendance

WORKSHOPS AND CORE PROGRAM CE

Certain workshops and core program sessions have been approved by the International Association of Flight & Critical Care Paramedics (IAFCCP) for continuing education activity appropriate for renewal of the Certified Flight Paramedic (FP-C®) and/or Certified Critical Care Paramedic (CCP-C®) credential, from the International Board of Specialty Certification (IBSC). 

To make FP-C® and/or CCP-C® recertification credit identification easier, attend and participate in the sessions in the Critical Care track and the MIH-CP track. Your attendance at these classes will be documented on the CE certificate you receive after EMS World Expo.

Exhibit Hall CE

Additional critical care and community paramedic CE activities can be obtained from identified vendors in the exhibit hall. Attendees will be required to visit vendors for an educational presentation and then complete a post test. To participate, visit the IAFCCP booth in the EMS World Expo exhibit hall for specific instructions. This activity is offered in association with Limmer Creative in the EMS World Expo exhibit hall.

Exhibit hall CE will earn between 0.1 and 0.5 credits per activity depending upon the complexity of the material and the time required.  After the conference, you will receive a CE certificate issued by the IAFCCP as a PDF file to your e-mail with a summary of your exhibit hall CE activity.  Submit this certificate, along with the EMS World Expo CE certificate and other necessary CE materials to the IBSC when your credential needs to be renewed. If you have questions or concerns, call 770/979-6372, or e-mail info@iafccp.org.

Certified Community Paramedic (CP-C) Exam

This exam will be offered at EMS World Expo. The expectation for the CP-C exam candidate is competency in mobile integrated healthcare and expanded EMS services in rural and urban settings, including various healthcare, mental health, and housing and social service needs. This examination is not meant to test entry-level knowledge, but rather to validate competency of those paramedics providing services beyond the roles of traditional emergency care and transport.
