2008 Educational Program

This year has shaped up to be the best ever! In addition to our exceptional EMS educational program, we are continuing to offer the fire track. Most of this year's classes also offer nursing credits in addition to the EMS CEUs. Pre-conference offerings include: ACLS Recertification on both Wednesday and Thursday, PALS Recertification on both Wednesday and Thursday, 12-Lead EKG, Edutainment: Movie Magic, E-Learning for the EMS Educator, GEMS, and PHTLS.

We have a great series of keynote speakers headlined by Al Haynes, pilot of United Flight 232 that crashed near Sioux City, Iowa, July 19, 1989, with 184 survivors. MCM has generously sponsored Mr. Haynes. Nadine Levick, nationally recognized ambulance safety expert is returning again this year. Also featured are Sheila Meshinski with her child abuse presentation, How to Save the Concrete Angel; Clarence Moore, with Motivation for Dummies, to inspire you; and Robin Shively and Tony Sorensen to update everyone on past and current activities, along with future plans for Michigan EMS.

Brand new this year are practical rotation stations. Each room will have 12 stations. One room will be for medical and one room will be for trauma and will offer credits in each of the credit categories. The stations will be offered all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. You can obtain all of your required practical CE’s. The stations will be on a first come, first serve basis, unless you want one of the reserved places.

Bob Page will be back to host the 3rd Annual Stars of Life Competition, sponsored by Broekema Associates. This will be held on Friday night, April 25th, 7:00 - 10:00 pm.
