  • Complete 50 hours of continued education for an AEMT as required by NREMT; OR
  • Be currently certified by NREMT as an AEMT.

In order to receive OEMS renewal notices, applicants are required to provide a current email address within their e-license account.  A renewal notice will be emailed 3 months prior to the posted expiration date.  Applicants are given a 3 month grace period after the expiration date.  If the credential is not renewed by the end of the 3 month grace period, the certification will expire and the applicant can no longer practice as an EMS Clinician.  To reactivate an expired AEMT credential, please see reinstatement requirements.
