PURPOSE:

Currently, there are approximately 50,000 certified Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics (please note:  some may have dual certifications).  They are required to renew their certifications on a biennial basis.  Online renewals will streamline the renewal process and allow these individuals to obtain their renewal in a more efficient manner.

SUMMARY:

Online renewal/recertification will be utilized to further the state's paperless objectives as well as make the renewal process more simple and more quickly accessible to emergency medical technicians and paramedics.
