The EMS Leadership Academy is a dynamic, four-level, 60-hour educational program designed to prepare persons to lead and manage today’s EMS organization. It is designed to give participants the basic tools and information needed to quickly and successfully assume or be in the role of an EMS leader.  The program series is underwritten and sponsored by the Wisconsin Office of Rural Health.

Since 2009, more than 900 leaders across the nation have participated in the Academy, many from Wisconsin during the past couple of years.

Each level is a 15-hour, two-day program presented on consecutive days in comfortable settings that invite participation and openness.  Class size is limited and the sessions are engaging, lively and participatory.

Each course is two-days and costs only $40 - inclusive of both days.  Meals and refreshments are included.  Please note that the levels need to be taken in order.  The previous level is a prerequisite for the next.
