What happens if an EMS professional fails to provide necessary documentation for CE within the audit period?

  1. They are fined

  2. They risk losing their certification

  3. They must retake all courses

  4. Nothing happens

The correct answer is: They risk losing their certification

When an EMS professional fails to provide the necessary documentation for continuing education (CE) within the specified audit period, they risk losing their certification. Certification in emergency medical services is typically contingent upon maintaining certain educational standards and completing required CE units within defined timeframes. If an EMS professional does not submit the proof of completion for the required training or education, it indicates that they may not be adhering to the professional standards established for their license. As a result, this lapse can lead to disciplinary actions, including the potential revocation of their certification. It’s essential for EMS professionals to keep accurate records of their CE activities and ensure that they comply with the reporting requirements to maintain their certification and effectively serve their communities.
