EMS Training Solutions for Small Departments
Customized Education Designed for Smaller Teams
Small EMS departments face big challenges when it comes to training. With limited staff, tight budgets, and round-the-clock shifts, it can be difficult to keep everyone current on certifications. DistanceCME provides the answer with EMS training solutions for small departments that are affordable, convenient, and completely online.
DistanceCME offers CAPCE-accredited, 100% online continuing education that meets all National Registry and state recertification standards. Our platform combines live instructor-led F5, also known as Virtual Instructor Led Training, and self-paced F3, also known as Distributive Education, giving you full flexibility to train your team when it fits their schedule.
We are America’s leading provider of Live NREMT Refreshers, Flight and Critical Care Review Courses, and EMS continuing education. Whether your department includes EMRs, EMTs, AEMTs, or Paramedics, DistanceCME delivers high-quality, practical training that keeps your crew sharp and compliant.
Why Small Departments Benefit from Online Training
Smaller departments have the same responsibilities as larger ones but often with fewer people and resources. Classroom training can mean overtime pay, travel costs, and reduced staffing coverage.
Flexible Learning That Fits Your Operations
With EMS training solutions for small departments, DistanceCME eliminates those obstacles. Team members can log in anytime, from any device, to complete their training online. Our live F5 sessions allow interaction with experienced instructors, while F3 self-paced courses give each provider the flexibility to study independently.
This structure ensures that your department stays compliant without interrupting operations or stretching budgets.
