DOH Creates EMS Forms Page
The Bureau of EMS has (finally) consolidated links to all of their paper and web-based forms into a one-stop shop. Instead of having to call a friend, or search the Internet, you can now surf to this page for an index of every paper or web form you need for certification, recertifcation, agency operations, and more.

Updated Policies Posted
Policies on instructor certification/recertification, and the BLS iGel (supraglottic airway) demonstration project have been posted to the Bureau of EMS webpage. The instructor policy allows reciprocity for out-of-state CLIs and CICs, requires video recording of at least one class audit, and clarifies the requirements for a CIC to sign off on CME content.
