Frequently asked questions

How many CE hours do Oregon EMTs and paramedics need?

Oregon EMTs and paramedics need 48 CE hours every 2 years.

What are the mandatory CE topics for Oregon EMTs and paramedics renewal?

Each renewal cycle requires: Trauma (6 hours); Medical (8 hours); Pediatric/Obstetric (8 hours); Airway/Breathing/Cardiology (9 hours); Culture/Race/Gender/Ethnicity (2 hours); Miscellaneous (15 hours). See the mandated topics table above for the full list.

When is the Oregon renewal deadline?

Renew every 2 years.

Does NREMT recertification count toward Oregon CE?

In most cases, yes. Oregon aligns with the NREMT NCCP model (national, local/state, and individual components), so CAPCE-accredited courses that count for NREMT paramedic recertification typically count for Oregon renewal too. Always confirm with the Oregon Health Authority before relying on this.

Are there requirements beyond CE hours in Oregon?

Yes — in addition to CE hours: Current CPR; affiliated skills competency once per cycle (conditional — not additive).
