Mission

The mission of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program in Alaska is to reduce both the human suffering and economic loss to society resulting from premature death and disability due to injuries and sudden illness.

Important Certification Information

Successful completion of the written examination is not, by itself, evidence of certification. You are not certified until you are issued a valid certificate and wallet card.

For assistance, please contact the EMS Certification Specialist at 465-3029.
