Now Accepting Applications for Site Visitors

The CoAEMSP is increasing its site visitor cadre and is seeking Paramedic educators and physicians to become site visitors for the CoAEMSP.

The training workshop will be hosted on Tuesday & Wednesday, June 28 & 29, 2022, in Dallas, Texas, for applicants who have been selected to be site visitors.

The deadline to apply is May 1, 2022.


This Friday! Webinar on Annual Reports


Friday, February 25 @ 1PM CENTRAL

What You Need to Know:
Programs with NO Satellite Campuses
The Annual Report will be based on the 2020 calendar year and its graduates, and be due May 15, 2022. This allows the program at minimum one (1) year to gather all relevant data and allows sufficient time to send out and gather results for the Graduate and Employer Surveys for the applicable annual report year.

Paramedic educational programs are required to submit an annual report that encompasses the following three (3) key metrics:

  •    Retention
  •    Positive Placement
  •    Success on the credentialing written (cognitive) exam.

All CAAHEP accredited and CoAEMSP Letter of Review (LoR) programs will be required to complete the Annual Report and publish the outcomes from their annual report on their website. Outcomes will be for the year reported (and no longer based on a 3-year average).

As the CoAEMSP continues to strive to become more outcomes-oriented in its approach to EMS education, the evaluation of identified outcomes measures becomes increasingly important.

The webinar will be recorded and posted here.
Just a Few Months Away!

ACCREDITCON is the collaborative designed to support programs, carry out its mission “to advance the quality of EMS education through accreditation” and respond to the needs of more than 700 Paramedic educational programs.
Not your typical EMS conference, ACCREDITCON is designed to be the comprehensive collaborative that offers every necessary resource for achieving accreditation success!

Listen to experts, interact with CoAEMSP staff and board, plug into best practices, network with peers and colleagues, and get answers to pertinent questions regarding initial and continuing CAAHEP accreditation for Paramedic educational programs.

2022 CAAHEP Accreditation Workshops









“This was a truly worthwhile event. I learned quite a bit and picked up a great number of ‘inside tips.’ Highly recommend this for every newly appointed Program Director and periodically as a refresher for those who have been on the job.”

These virtual workshops are held via Zoom and are designed to educate participants on the 2015 CAAHEP Standards and the accreditation process, enhancing the accreditation knowledge of Paramedic program faculty.

Using expert presentations and interactive group learning activities, the workshop will provide best practices to avoid common stumbling blocks.
