After March of 2019, all EMS recertifying must do so through the National Continued Competency Program (NCCP).    Many of the requirements are similar to National Registry for license renewal but the required hours and categories have changed slightly.    Below are my topics categorized according to NCCP.  Some topics may be listed twice due to flexibility of the content.  For a complete and comprehensive list, go to Handouts on the left side of the page and click on List of Topics.   It is always updated to the most current topics offered.
