We strive to provide the best education from not only national, but local Nebraska instructors as well. With this, we hope to continue to grow and reach as many EMS providers as we can. Your support helps us to continue to grow and reach each and every provider in our state.

Your opinions matter! Every evaluation is read, and your feedback is helpful. We listened and made a few changes this year to improve your educational experience. It is our hope that we have made changes to your benefit. We wish for you to gain the knowledge you desire, network with fellow EMS personnel, make new friends, and enjoy the weekend. We also ask that you please share what you have learned from the convention with your fellow providers and community members. Please continue to provide us with your opinions and comments on your evaluations.

If any of you are interested in learning more about NEMSA, please speak with a Board Member or stop by the NEMSA booth. We would love to visit with you.
