Tidewater EMS Council and Tidewater Community College are hosting two 12 Lead ECG classes for EMS providers.
- Morning Class 9:30 – 11:30 -STEMI Essentials: Not just for beginners! This short session lays the foundational approach to be used throughout the day.

- More in-depth look at ruling out the most common STEMI impostors
