General Conference Information
Emergency Medicine Today (EM Today) is one of the most widely recognized EMS educational conferences in the country, offering its attendees the opportunity to hear presentations from outstanding faculty from across North Carolina and the United States. The conference offers continuing education credit for topics of general interest and current advancements in the fields of pre-hospital emergency care, emergency and trauma medicine and public health. The conference audience includes basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) personnel, emergency medical dispatchers (EMD), EMS professionals, EMS administrators, EMS educators, emergency medicine/trauma physicians and nurses and public health professionals.
Disaster Medical Preparedness Conference provides an opportunity for professionals from a number of agencies and associations to discuss how disaster impacts all of us in the health care community.

The conference is open for EMS personnel, emergency managers, hospital administrators, physicians, nurses, State Medical Assistance Team (SMAT) personnel, disaster planning coordinators, medical facility administrators, law enforcement officials, search and rescue responders, preparedness officials and others who play an important role in critical incidents.
