OPEN M&Ms and M&M Policy

Region 1 Annual M&M Policy: Paramedics & AEMTs must complete 6 hours of M&M's and EMTs must complete 2 hours of M&Ms in each calendar year (January 1-December 31).

Providers can attend any open M&Ms in REGION 1 to complete the hours requirement, including remote broadcast (live, designated as T-5) or in-person (where available). M&Ms attended in other Regions do not count towards your Region 1 hospital requirement.

The 'Face to Face' requirement (2 hours with your Affiliate Hospital Medical Director or their designee, in-person or live-remote), is in effect for all EMTs at all Levels

If you are employed by more than one agency, your Face-To-Face requirement should be completed with the Medical Director for your primary agency or their designee. Please provide documentation to other agencies.

What constitutes a valid M&M?

effective 2024:

M&M offered by any Region 1 hospital, in-person or remote
M&M held at agency with Affiliate Hospital Medical Director and/or hospital EMS Coordinator in attendance
Medical Director 'ride-along' (Affiliate Hospital Medical Director or their physician designee only)
Quarterly Skills session with case-based scenarios, attended by Affiliate Hospital Medical Director or their designee
Pre-recorded session viewed with approval of EMS Coordinator

Always be sure to sign the roster or follow instructions to submit your information for the roster if attending a virtual session! If you are unaffiliated with an agency, check with the EMS Coordinator to obtain proof of attendance.

For Live Remote Broadcasts you will need to submit your name/EMT number. At your agency, your Room Monitor will provide an OEMS roster. Certain hospitals may permit you to attend from home and will require proof of attendance (e.g., participation in on-line polling, etc). Depending on the platform used, pre-registration may be required. Be sure to follow instructions to assure you receive attendance credit.

Each Medical Director has discretion in specific cases: (if you have a unique situation do not delay in reaching out to your Medical Director!)

New Hires: Pro-rated with date of hire (Medical Director determination)

Military Deployment: pro-rated with return-to-work date (Medical Director determination)

Long-term illness/injury: pro-rated with return-to-work date (Medical Director determination)

Other situations: Medical Director determination
