We're excited to announce that Clinical Reasoning Assessment (CRA) is now available for the Paramedic provider level in EMSTesting — at no additional cost.

Inspired by the National Registry’s Clinical Judgment exam, CRA combines adaptive testing with realistic, evolving patient scenarios designed to strengthen clinical reasoning and help students apply their knowledge in meaningful ways. This new assessment experience also provides instructors with valuable insight into student performance across key domains, helping support preparation for both the field and certification exams.

Looking Back at NAEMSE 2026

We had a great time at the 2026 NAEMSE Educator Symposium in Reno! It was a pleasure connecting with EMS educators, colleagues, partners, and friends from across the country—and we were proud to sponsor lunch this year.

We also celebrated several individuals with special connections to the Platinum Educational Group community. Congratulations to Wellington W. Jackson, recipient of the 2026 NAEMSE Unsung Hero Award; Chad Massie, a 2026 “Legends That Walk Among Us” Award recipient; and Nannette Lloyd, winner of a free NAEMSE 2026 registration through the item reviewer drawing.

Thank you to NAEMSE and everyone who made this year's symposium such a great experience. We’re already looking forward to connecting again!
