In preparation of the educational webinars and implementation of the December 1, 2025 updated Maine EMS protocols, Maine EMS and the Medical Direction and Practices Board (MDPB) has released resources related to the protocols.
On the Maine EMS Protocols website page, you will find several important documents including:
- The December 1, 2025 Maine EMS Protocols
- The 2025 Protocols Change Summary Document
- The 2025 Protocols that require On-Line Medical Consultation (OLMC)
- 2 White Papers from the MDPB
Materials that will be released in the near future:
- 2025 Protocol FAQs
- 2025 Medication Formulary
These protocols are not for use until December 1, 2025. On December 1, 2025, all previous versions of the Maine EMS protocols will sunset and no longer be valid and these updated protocols will go into effect. Additionally, the Maine EMS protocol apps will also update on or about that time.
2025 Protocol Education
Please note that per Maine EMS Rules, Chapter 5, §4, licensed Maine EMS clinicians must complete the most recent Maine EMS prehospital protocol update in order to perform emergency medical treatment.
All EMRs, EMTs, AEMTs, and Paramedics must complete the protocol update before responding to EMS calls on or after December 1, 2025. CEH credit will be awarded.
The update 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 links are found below.
2. Complete the update on MEMSEd 24/7 by logging into your MEMSEd account.
You do NOT need to do both (but are welcome to!). You only need to attend one webinar session if you choose that option.
