2021 - EMS Help Room was brought to you as part of a volunteer effort to increase the availability of EMS education material at minimal cost to students. It is important that students have access to supplemental materials to ensure success in their program and their career as an EMS provider. This website was designed to be a one-stop site for free material, so students can spend more time learning and less time searching!
