ZOLL EMS Scholarship Program
The annual ZOLL EMT Scholarship Program, aimed at supporting EMS providers seeking to advance their education, is accepting applications through April 15, 2019. If you or a fellow EMSer could use some moolah to support paramedic education, check it out here.

EMT Minimum Age Lowered
Regulation change lowering the age limit for New York state EMT certification to 17 years old took effect January 9, 2109. Candidates who turn 17 up to the last day of the month in which their written exam is scheduled are now eligible to enroll in an EMT Original course. Take note – this might be better than hanging out at the mall.
