Updated Michigan BLS Portfolio Templates Now Available
The Michigan Department of Health & Human Services (MDHHS), Bureau of Emergency Preparedness, EMS, & Systems of Care, has released updated Michigan BLS Portfolio requirements for EMR and EMT education programs.
If you are creating a new cohort, please select the updated Michigan template when creating your class. Do not clone an existing cohort, as cloned classes will continue to use the previous portfolio and will not include the updated requirements.
If you have already created a new cohort and are unsure whether you are using the correct template, or if you have questions about transitioning to the updated portfolio, our team is happy to help. Thank you for all you do to educate Michigan's future EMS professionals.
