All ALS Providers in the Midstate EMS Region, must complete a series of skill requirements, two times a year.

The first reporting period (First Semester) begins May 1st of each year, and ends October 31st of each year. The Second Semester begins on November 1st and ends on April 30th. The skill requirements for each level are listed on the opposite page.

All ALS Providers, in the Midstate EMS Region, must also complete didactic, or classroom time each year. The time can be submitted any time during the first or second semester. The required hours are also listed on the opposite page. Remember, at least 50% of the required hours must be ALS.

If you are a new provider or are changing levels within the region you will need to contact this office prior to practicing at the level you are certified. If you have taken a refresher course, you will need to submit a copy of your current card to this office. The course sponsors who put the courses on only receive scores for each student. They DO NOT get copies of the EMT cards. It is the provider's responsibility to send a current copy of their EMT card to the Program Agency.

Once the Program Agency has a current copy of your EMT/CPR cards, your required skills and/or didactic time, you will be sent a Medical Control card which grants you privileges to practice at the level outlined on the card. If the necessary documentation is not on file, you will be suspended and have no privileges to practice above the level of a Basic EMT.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact:
