At 3 a.m., when most of the world is hoping someone else answers the call, EMS providers are already pulling on their boots. Since EMS Week (May 17–23) has passed, we wanted to extend our appreciation beyond it.

EMS Week is more than certifications, protocols, or titles—it’s about people who run toward the moments others run from, day in and day out. To the providers, educators, and program leaders who carry this work forward with dedication and heart, your impact is felt far beyond a single week of recognition. Thank you for everything you do, not just during EMS Week, but every day. Click here for the full article.

EMS Expo Success

We enjoyed attending and connecting with others at the EMS Expo hosted by the Michigan Association of Ambulance Services in Kalamazoo. The event was a great opportunity to connect with EMS professionals from across the state, exchange ideas, and learn more about the advancements shaping the industry.

We value the leadership, advocacy, and educational opportunities that strengthen ambulance services throughout Michigan and appreciate networking with others who share that same commitment.

Platinum Visits Ohio EMS Conference

Platinum Educational Group had a great time at the Ohio EMS Conference in Columbus, OH. We enjoyed connecting with EMS educators, sharing ideas, and showcasing how Platinum Planner supports EMS competency tracking and student scheduling. We also highlighted EMSTesting, the foundation of our journey and a leader in EMS education and assessment. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth to say hello and grab some swag!

Grateful for an Amazing ACCREDITCON 2026

Thank you to everyone who connected with the Platinum team at ACCREDITCON 2026 in New Orleans! ACCREDITCON once again delivered a meaningful and engaging experience, bringing together educators and program leaders from across the country. From insightful sessions and inspiring speakers to valuable conversations throughout the exhibit hall, it was a week filled with learning and connection.

A special thank you to those who joined us for Educator Night. From exploring the history of New Orleans on a ghost cemetery tour to enjoying beignets at Morning Call, it was a memorable evening and a great opportunity to connect outside the conference setting. With two buses full of attendees, it was truly a highlight of the week.

We’re grateful to everyone who stopped by our booth, attended a demo, asked questions, or connected with our team. Thank you for making ACCREDITCON 2026 a success—we look forward to seeing you again next year.
