New York Paramedic Refresher Course

Recertification as a paramedic in New York comes with a unique set of requirements—and tight schedules don’t make it any easier. That’s why DistanceCME offers a New York paramedic refresher course, a fully online accredited solution designed to meet New York State requirements while giving you the flexibility to learn on your terms. DistanceCME has its own in-house NY CIC to assist you with your recertification.

DistanceCME is America’s leading provider of Live NREMT Refreshers, Flight and Critical Care Review Courses, and EMS continuing education. Thousands of EMS professionals—many from New York—trust us to provide engaging, relevant, and accessible training that fits their real-life responsibilities and crazy shift schedules. Our courses are not only CAPCE-accredited but also accepted by most state EMS offices, including the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), making recertification simple and stress-free.

Our New York paramedic refresher course is offered in two convenient formats: F5 (Virtual Instructor-Led Training) and F3 (Distributive Education). The F5 sessions are live, instructor-led classes that replicate the classroom experience while allowing you to participate from anywhere with an internet connection. You’ll interact with experienced instructors in real-time—no pre-recorded lectures here. Whether it’s a deep dive into trauma assessment or a focused session on cardiac care, you’ll be engaged, challenged, and prepared to apply what you’ve learned on the street.

For even greater flexibility, we also offer F3 self-paced modules. These courses are ideal for supplementing your live education hours or working through additional training content at your own pace—whether it’s during a quiet shift, between calls, or late at night. Both F5 and F3 options meet the continuing education requirements for the NREMT and most state licensing boards, including New York.

As a paramedic in New York, you’re likely balancing high call volumes, extended shifts, and limited downtime. We get that. That’s why our New York paramedic refresher course is available throughout the day. 

Topics covered in the refresher course include all components of the National Continued Competency Program (NCCP): airway, trauma, cardiology, medical emergencies, OB/Peds, and EMS operations. You’ll also gain valuable insight into current trends, protocols, and best practices relevant to urban and rural EMS providers throughout New York.

What really sets DistanceCME apart is our seamless, user-friendly platform and our student support team. From helping you enroll to tracking your hours and providing completion documentation, we’re here every step of the way. If you’re unsure about how many hours you need, which format to choose, or whether your agency accepts our credits, just reach out—we’ve got your back with an in-house NY CIC.

Many New York EMS agencies and systems have trusted us to train their entire team, and individual medics continue to return year after year. Our proven track record, unmatched scheduling flexibility, and expert instructors have made us the first choice for CE in New York and beyond.

When it’s time to renew your certification, don’t let outdated programs or in-person-only options hold you back. Join the thousands of medics who’ve already completed their New York paramedic refresher course with DistanceCME—and discover how easy and effective continuing education can be.
