Fire & Emergency Medical Services Division launched by KCE

Kaplan Continuing Education (KCE) has launched a Fire & Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division with the assistance of Florida Professional Firefighters Medical Director and former National Paramedic Institute president Dr. Steven Katz. Kaplan’s online continuing education courses offer EMT CEUs online for students recertifying their state certifications. The new division was created to provide established fire and EMS professionals high quality online EMT, paramedic and fire training for continuing education programs.

KCE’s Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and paramedic online training for CEUs and recertification courses are led by expert instructors and provide case-based continuing education. Specifically, Kaplan’s online training for EMT and paramedic recertification courses are designed using real situations and firefighters, EMS personnel and emergency physicians. In addition to EMT recertification training, KCE’s EMS division provides online continuing education courses for first responders and paramedics.

The EMS division is led by Dr. Steven Katz, M.D., FACEP, and EMT-P who became part of Kaplan Continuing Education upon Kaplan’s acquisition of the National Paramedic Institute in 2008.

“The continuing education courses we offer to earn EMT and paramedic CEUs online are second to none. We utilize real case-based scenarios that are relevant to today’s EMS professional in the field,” said Dr. Steven Katz. “In joining with Kaplan Continuing Education, the new division is positioned to be among the leading providers for EMT and paramedic training for CEUs Online. We plan on continuing to expand and grow our online courses and EMT and paramedic recertification programs.”
