Emergency Education NightsWebinar series for health care providers

Free virtual education sessions for prehospital and emergency care providers at all levels.

Join us for an engaging, year-long program for EMS and health care professionals. In 2025 we’re adding four special sessions — one each quarter — to explore advanced topics.

Gain lifesaving insights and practical strategies from top experts, covering everything from mass casualty management to advanced trauma care. Stay at the forefront of emergency care—at no cost.

Webinars cover topics including:

  • Disease diagnosis, treatment and management of complex emergencies with major emphasis at prehospital level

  • Common concerns and caregiving options

  • Case studies and interactive discussions

  • New research and developments in the most common pathologies you will observe in your daily practice

  • Registration is free and available to health care providers.

Earn one hour of continuing education unit (CEU) with every live session, eligible for both state and NREMT recertification.

We strongly encourage participation of prehospital providers of all levels, also emergency department RNs and advanced practice providers (PAs, NPs). Physicians and students are also welcome.

Education sessions are held virtually using Webex on Wednesdays throughout the year at 6 p.m. CST.
