November 19-21, 2021, KEMSA will be hosting the Fall 2021 CORE Conference in Salina, Kansas. This is an in-person event!

This is a 2.5 day educational conference from November 19-21, 2021 in Salina, KS for all levels of EMS professionals. This conference will provide 21 hours of EMS CE and will pertain to all levels of certification.  Download the flyer here.

KEMSA will be monitoring local regulations regarding COVID-19 any necessary precaution information will be shared with attendees as needed.
