FEATURE UPDATES
By Chrissine Cairns, Executive Director, May 23, 2024
Legacy Certificates, New Courses, New Jersey CE, and More
Welcome New Members!
Since the launch of the Americancme.org courses last August, 2023, almost 10,000 providers have enrolled, including 500-plus agencies. We anticipate sustained high enrollment throughout 2024, especially as our 60,000 members from our legacy site transition to the new platform. A warm welcome to all!
Legacy Certificates Now Available
If you earned a certificate on our old site within the last eight years, it’s now available on the Legacy Certificates tab of your My Account page. If you don’t see the Legacy Certificate tab, it means either you didn’t have any CAPCE or Free CE certificates on our old site, or you used a different email address. Please contact support@americancme.org to request that your new email address be associated with your old one to access your old certificates.
Legacy Site Sunset
With the legacy certificates now available on the new site, we will begin the next phase for sunsetting the old site such as removing the login form and having the americancme.com URL automatically redirect to americancme.org.
New CAPCE Patient Assessment Courses
American CME’s three Patient Assessment courses, which include Scene Survey, Initial Assessment, and Secondary Assessment, were previously available in our Free CE library. Now, these courses have been accredited by CAPCE and are accessible individually or as part of a bundle in our CAPCE course library.
New CAPCE Bundles
Our original CAPCE Bundle with 30 basic and advanced CAPCE courses is still available. We’ve additionally added a CAPCE Basics Bundle with 29 courses for EMR/MFR and EMT-B providers and a CAPCE Basic and Advanced Bundle with our original 30 courses plus the three new patient assessment courses.
Calling all New Jersey Providers!
New Jersey accepts many of our Free CE courses, but American CME needs to report your course completion to the NJ EMS office. If you are a NJ provider, please enroll for free in the New Jersey Providers group. The NJ-approved courses are listed on the group page, and we will submit the courses completions for group members to the NJ EMS office.
New Resources
The American CME Support page has new resources and FAQs including an onboarding guide for agencies, instructions on how to retake a course, infographics from the American Stroke Association, and the 2024 MI-MEDIC pdf. Please use our contact form if you require personalized support. We’re happy to help!
Happy National EMS Week 2024!
