The 2026 UP EMS Conference brings accessible, CAPCE-accredited continuing education to EMS providers and instructor coordinators in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Participants will strengthen clinical knowledge across state-required topics, with an emphasis on pediatric care; practice hands-on skills not often performed at rural call volumes; and develop instructional and leadership practices that support EMS education and workforce retention in rural communities.
Join us for THREE full days of engaging programming, exclusive content tailored for attendees, and networking opportunities with industry leaders.
