CAPCE CAPCE is the Commission on Accreditation for Pre-Hospital Continuing Education CAPCE, by its charter, maintains the standards for the delivery of EMS CE.

The Commission on Accreditation for Prehospital Continuing Education (CAPCE), was founded in 1992 under the vision and guidance of Janet Head, then President of the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT). Janet recognized that not all EMS continuing education (CE) was of a level or quality that she would expect for practicing EMS providers. Thus, she sought support from the leadership of other EMS leadership organizations such as The National Association of EMS Educators (NAEMSE), The National Registry of EMTs (NREMT), The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and The National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP). Together these organizations worked to provide an accreditation service for EMS based CE. Those standards include requirements for active medical direction, valid post-tests, quality infrastructure, sound educational design including delivery methodology, marketing, fees, evaluation, student record keeping and data reporting. CAPCE accreditation exists so that EMS providers have access to high quality, standard-driven continuing education activities and are awarded credit for participating in such activities.

Those who care for others need care and support, too. 💗

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, CAPCE honors those living with breast cancer, survivors, caregivers, and the loved ones we remember.

For our EMS community, compassion extends to patients, partners, coworkers, and ourselves. Check in. Listen. Offer support. No one should have to face the difficult days alone.

Being affected by a call does not mean you’re not cut out for EMS.

You can be skilled, dependable, and committed to your patients while still needing support yourself. The belief that EMS professionals should be able to carry everything without help can make it harder to speak up.

During Mental Illness Awareness Week, let’s challenge that stigma. Check on your partner, listen without judgment, and know that reaching out for support is an option for you, too.

If you need support now, call or text 988.
