Want an early look at what’s coming to American CME?
We’re starting the American CME Preview Panel — a small group of EMS professionals who preview new courses and formats before they launch. Members occasionally join a live session or complete a short survey (a few hours a year), and receive free access to select CAPCE-accredited courses as a thank you.
Our next Preview Panel Opportunity is August 18, 2026.
We are inviting up to 20 paramedics to preview a brand-new format for American CME: a Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) course — a live, fully interactive virtual classroom, not a recorded video or a one-way webinar.
The course for this preview is “Deflections, Intervals, and Segments,” the first presentation of the course Introduction to Electrocardiography for ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS! taught by Jerry W. Jones, MD, FACEP, FAAEM, of Medicus of Houston. Dr. Jones has been teaching ECG interpretation to physicians internationally for more than 40 years, and with American CME partnership, he will additionally offer it to Paramedics. Our accreditation body will be attending this course in order to approve the format for future accreditation of VILT courses. You’ll get a 1-hour preview of both the format and his teaching.
A few details so you know what you’re signing up for:
- Date and time: Tuesday, August 18 at 11 AM ET
- Format: VILT (Virtual Instructor-Led Training, Live Streamed on Zoom)
- Length: about 1 hour plus time for Q&A
- Requirements: Camera on for the full session, and a working microphone — the live two-way interaction is the point of the format, and CAPCE, our accrediting body will be observing the session.
- Category, License Level: Advanced, Paramedic
- Topic: ECG interpretation
- No CE credit for this session — it’s a preview and demonstration, not an accredited offering.
