NEW! EMS Officer I at Fire-Rescue Med (FRM)

The IAFC, in partnership with Columbia Southern University (CSU), is expanding the Officer Development Program (ODP) with a new leadership track designed to meet the evolving demands of today’s fire and EMS professionals. EMS Officer I is the foundational course of the EMS Officer Development Program track. This structured, eight-unit workshop series prepares EMS leaders to navigate today’s rapidly evolving challenges.

Participants will explore:

  • Core leadership principles
  • Team and personnel management
  • Operational readiness and response
  • Quality improvement and performance outcomes

Designed to keep EMS professionals current, adaptable, and prepared, EMS Officer I focuses on real-world leadership skills that translate directly to the field.

The EMS Officer I track reflects the shared commitment of the IAFC and CSU to developing officers who are evidence-based, responsive to national trends, and prepared for the increasing demands placed on the modern fire service.
