Every year, EMS Week celebrates the entire EMS community and recognizes the hard and vital work it does. As part of EMS Week, Monday is EMS Education Day. Since EMS education is our forte, we’ve put together a few resources to help educators improve the quality and effectiveness of their classes.

Free Resources for EMS Educators

To get your professional development going and save you some time, we’ve put together this list of printables, learning exercises and other educator resources to help you in the classroom.

2022 UPDATE: We created a class planning guide that essentially combines the resources below, plus includes discussion questions and other ready-to-use content for every major topic in the EMT curriculum. It’s comprehensive and easy to use.
