💛 EMS Chaplaincy Training & CE Event 💛

The Louisiana Rural Ambulance Alliance is hosting an EMS Chaplaincy Training & CE Event November 5–7, 2026, at 3695 Bank Drive, St. Gabriel, LA 70776.

This three-day event will include:

📅 Thursday, November 5: EMS Chaplain 1 – Introduction and foundation of the EMS chaplain role
📅 Friday & Saturday, November 6–7: EMS Chaplain 2 – Advanced topics and practical application
📚 Continuing education opportunities to help satisfy re-certification requirements
🎓 Graduation celebration and reunion for new chaplains, alumni, family, and friends

EMS providers experience some of the most difficult moments on the job. Long hours, difficult calls, disrupted sleep, and the emotional weight of caring for others can take a toll. Having someone who will listen, support, and help connect EMS professionals with additional resources can make a meaningful difference.

This event is a great opportunity to learn more about EMS chaplaincy, strengthen support networks, and connect with others who understand the importance of caring for those who care for our communities.

Please share this with your EMS teams, chaplains, agency leaders, and anyone interested in serving in this role.

The Louisiana Bureau of EMS is committed to continuous professional development and lifelong learning. As EMS professionals, we understand that improving the quality of the services we provide requires us to continually learn, adapt, and explore new tools and approaches that can better serve the citizens of Louisiana.

This week, three members of the Bureau of EMS team, pictured left to right: Katherine Robillard, John Cavell, and Aimee Hall, participated in the Louisiana Department of Health Artificial Intelligence Symposium, hosted by the Office of Public Health in partnership with the LSU E. J. Ourso College of Business Executive Education.

The two-day symposium provided an opportunity to explore the fundamentals and practical applications of artificial intelligence across public health and state government. Sessions addressed trustworthy AI, governance, legal and ethical considerations, AI fundamentals, prompt engineering, quality improvement, decision-making, workforce efficiency, emergency preparedness, and the development of actionable AI policy.

For the Bureau of EMS, professional development means more than maintaining our knowledge and skills in EMS. It also means staying informed about emerging technologies and considering how they can be responsibly and effectively used to improve public service, support our workforce, and ultimately strengthen EMS and public health outcomes across Louisiana.

We are proud to invest in the continued growth of our team and look forward to bringing what we learned back to our work at the Bureau of EMS.
