*- OTEP sessions marked with a ”*” are Trauma-related. A 2-day PHTLS class may be substituted for these OTEP sessions. Example: you take PHTLS in June of 2010. You would then be allowed to skip the OTEP sessions and Skill Stations marked with an “*” in November and December 2010 and all subsiquent classes marked with a “*” during your certification period. We will treat these skipped classes as though you attended them so they count towards your 8 OTEPS per year that you must make. You must still complete the EMS Online portion of the OTEP.
