*** Monthly Review/CEH Program ***
Here's an easy, free 1.5 CEHs... Maine EMS has created a training module for OLMC at www.quantiamd.com/maineems. While focused on the role of OLMC, EMS staff can earn CEHs by taking the course as well. And it shows us what OLMC should know. Takes about an hour (or you can 'next' your way through it pretty quickly) with a test at the end. You need to register at the site first then take the course.
