Created by Emergency Responders for Emergency Responders

American CME was founded in 2009 by a Paramedic Firefighter from West Bloomfield, Michigan who filmed and produced Oakland County’s stroke protocol update and identified a need for video-based continuing medical education for emergency responders. In the years that followed, American CME became a robust, in-house production company for creating, producing, and hosting online education for prehospital emergency care providers. Over 70,000 EMRs, EMTs, Paramedics, and Specialists created accounts on our original platform and chose American CME for their continuing medical education.

In 2022, American CME started the process of changing to a non-profit organization to strengthen our mission, vision, and contribution to the field of EMS. Our board of directors includes highly experienced educators and EMS professionals from hospitals and EMS agencies from across the US who are deeply committed to improving patient outcomes, protecting the public, and advancing the EMS profession through high-quality educational services and resources. Our work together focuses on ensuring American CME’s ongoing development of high-quality continuing education courses and providing a platform that serves as a hub for EMS professional development and connection.
