EMSC Webcasts


Each year, the Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) National Resource Center (NRC) works with the federal EMSC Program to coordinate webcasts of interest to EMSC grantees and partners.

All webcasts are hosted through mchcom.com, the Maternal and Child Health Bureau's web site for supporting communication and collaboration between state and federal maternal and child health professionals who serve the nation's mothers, families, and children. Please register at least a few days in advance of the event by clicking on the name of the webcast listed below. This allows the host site to troubleshoot any technical problems the guest might have prior to the event itself.
