WAKE COUNTY, N.C. — Wake County EMS leaders hold paid, quarterly continuing education for their personnel. This gives EMS providers the opportunity for regular face-time with their medical directors, and to practice and improve their skills.

One of these quarterly trainings is high fidelity simulations that use adult and pediatric manikin patients in cardiac arrest.
