What does CECBEMS approval mean to the continuing education consumer?

CECBEMS approval means that the continuing education (CE) provider has submitted the activity for review by an independent third party, CECBEMS. Applications are assessed by three reviewers—one physician with substantial EMS experience, one present or past member of the CECBEMS Board of Directors, and one EMT with significant field experience and/or significant experience in EMS education.

 

Reviewers use a checklist to rate the activity on the elements of sound educational design and on the infrastructure in place to deliver the activity, respond to the user’s questions, and maintain appropriate records. With distributed learning and other types of CE, the CECBEMS activity number and approval statement means that the CE provider has made an effort to ensure that the product meets the criteria for quality educational design and for effective delivery.
