About the Conference
The Northeast Tennessee Emergency Medical & Rescue Conference is hosted by Washington County-Johnson City EMS. Our goal is to bring emerging trends and timely educational topics to the emergency medical and rescue providers from across our multi-state region. Contact hours are awarded by the State Office of Emergency Medical Services toward license renewal. We have sought approval from Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia.
