Apply for the Lifeline Grant and Help Keep Your Team Ready to Respond

The Lifeline Grant, supported jointly by Laerdal and the GMR Foundation for Research & Education, helps volunteer and under-resourced community responder organizations reduce the cost of maintaining life-saving BLS and ALS certifications. Through this annual $30,000 program, selected organizations receive funding for eligible online or blended-learning recertification courses, with 100% of eligible costs covered in year one and 50% covered in year two. The grant is designed to help agencies establish sustainable recertification programs while keeping responders trained, certified, and ready to serve their communities.

New EMS educators often enter the classroom with strong clinical backgrounds but little formal training in how to teach. Join us for an upcoming webinar, "So You’re the Instructor Now: Essential Classroom Skills for New EMS Educators". This webinar provides a practical roadmap for new instructors who want to run an effective, engaging EMS classroom.

Participants will learn core skills such as establishing classroom control, pacing lessons to maintain attention, and using questioning strategies that build clinical reasoning. The session also introduces simple instructional frameworks that reduce cognitive overload and increase retention.

Attendees will leave with immediately usable tools, including pacing templates, questioning models, engagement prompts, and a new-instructor checklist designed specifically for EMS education environments.

📅 Tuesday, October 13 | 11 AM-12 PM ET

🎤 Speaker: Eric Williamson, Division Chief of EMS Training, The Villages Public Safety Department

Capnography is one of the most valuable physiologic monitoring tools in EMS, but it’s often taught primarily as an airway confirmation device. This upcoming webinar will explore practical ways to elevate capnography throughout the EMS curriculum and help students understand its role in assessing and treating a wide range of patient presentations.

Join Chris Kroboth, MS, FP-C, as he covers waveform physiology, the relationship between ventilation, perfusion, and metabolism, common waveform patterns, and ways to incorporate capnography into simulation scenarios beyond respiratory emergencies.

📅 Thursday, September 24
⏰ 1-2 PM ET
