The New Jersey Office of EMS (OEMS) has requested that the information
below be distributed. For those of you who aren't certified in NJ,
please share it will any squad-mates that are from NJ.

----- Forwarded Message Follows -----

The New Jersey Office of Emergency Medical Services (OEMS) will soon
be moving to a web-based Learning Management System (LMS) that will
encompass all New Jersey EMS certifications, as well as all EMT-Basic
courses. Once the LMS is complete, all currently certified New Jersey
EMTs will receive a new EMS certification card that will have a new 6
digit ID number. This ID number will be used for all New Jersey CEU
classes, as well as to log on to the LMS. Individuals will be able to
update their personal information, as well as view their CEU status.
All New Jersey EMS certified personnel must complete a recertification
form within 6 months of their expiration date. This form can be found
on the LMS and should only be submitted once you have completed all
requirements for recertification, and are within six (6) months of
your expiration date.

In an effort to ensure that all currently certified personnel receive
their new cards in a timely matter, OEMS is requesting that all
certified New Jersey EMTs confirm that the address on their New Jersey
EMS certification reflects their current actual mailing address. All
requests for name and address changes must be submitted via fax or
regular mail. A name change requires a copy of your driver's license
or marriage certificate. An address change requires a copy of your
driver's license or a recent utility bill with your name and address
on
the statement.

Also, please see if your name is included on the list of EMS personnel
the state has lost track of. There are hundreds of EMTs and medics
that NJ OEMS has no valid postal address for. they are listed at:
