2025 Protocol Webinar Schedule 

After two years of review and input, the new protocols will provide an updated set of guidelines and evidence-based care.

ALL Maine EMS licensed clinicians must complete the protocol update before responding to EMS calls on or after December 1, 2025. CEH credit will be awarded.

The updates can be completed in one of two ways:

1. Attend one of the live virtual webinars. (You must pre-register; there is no cost).  The schedule and registration links are below.

2. Complete the update on MEMSEd 24/7 by logging into your MEMSEd account. This will be available in the first weeks of September.

You do NOT need to do both (but are welcome to!).  The schedule for live webinars and registration links are below and can also be found in the clinical bulletin below.  You only need to attend one session.

Sept 15 0900-1200 Registration Link

Sept 23 1300-1600 Registration Link

Oct 21 1700-2000 Registration Link

Nov 15 0900-1200 Registration Link

We will be posting a PDF copy of the protocols and other resources the week of Sept 1.

The protocol app will be updated on the evening of November 30 with the updated protocols.

You cannot use the new protocols until December 1, 2025.
