It's time again for the Annual Life Flight EMS Symposium at Amherst College!!

We will offer a full day of interesting, interactive continuing education content provided by our Life Flight Staff and Crew and other community EMS/healthcare partners. You even get breakfast, lunch and snacks, along with Life Flight memorabilia.

This year's program will concentrate on a variety of EMS topics centered around First Contact: The Decisions That Decide The Outcome and will be held on Sunday December 6th, 2026 both in person and virtual!

Some of the topics we will present are a Toxicology update for EMS, pediatric management, unique tips on how to manage our special population of patients, a Life Flight case review, along with other great topics!!

Just a reminder, there are specific rules for getting credit for the webinar that will be posted. Credits for OEMS and Nursing are pending. As usual, you will be given a certificate with all the applicable information at the end of the program.
