Emergency Medical Services

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals are the front line of care when time is short and lives are on the line. Whether you’re responding to a multi-vehicle crash, helping a cardiac patient en route to the hospital, or delivering care in a remote area, your training and readiness are what make the difference. That’s why ongoing education in Emergency Medical Services is so important—and why thousands of EMS professionals choose DistanceCME to meet their training and recertification needs.

DistanceCME is America’s leading provider of Live NREMT Refreshers, Flight and Critical Care Review Courses, and EMS continuing education. Our programs are built for the real world, by real EMS professionals, and delivered in a format that respects your time and your schedule. Whether you’re just entering the field or are decades into your career, we’ve got the courses and support you need to stay sharp and stay certified.

All of our Emergency Medical Services training is CAPCE-accredited and 100% online. You’ll have access to both live instructor-led F5 (VILT) sessions and self-paced F3 (Distributive) options. That means you’re not stuck choosing between work, family, and certification—you can do it all. And because we offer more live courses than any other provider, you can log in and learn when it works best for you.

Our instructors aren’t just reading from a manual. They’ve worked in the field, handled life-or-death situations, and bring real-world knowledge into every lesson. That kind of teaching goes beyond the basics and helps reinforce the critical thinking and decision-making skills EMS professionals rely on every day.

In the world of Emergency Medical Services, staying current isn’t optional. Medical protocols change. Equipment evolves. New threats emerge. Our courses are constantly updated to reflect the latest national standards, guidelines, and field-tested practices. Whether you’re brushing up on airway management, trauma response, cardiac emergencies, or scene safety, you’ll be learning what’s most relevant today—not what was “good enough” five years ago.
