Medical Directors Course

The Alabama Department of Public Health and the Office of EMS (OEMS) Medical Directors Course is available via a web-based course.

The complete Online Medical Directors (OLMD) Newcomers course is available to all new physicians needing their initial Medical Direction Physician Identification Number (MDPID) and for physicians who previously received their number by taking the older, written exam. Please also complete the Medical Directors Course Request and submit it to the OEMS, before accessing the site, to receive a username and password. At the end of the course is a Summary and Recognition section that must be completed for credit to be given for the course. Also, on the OLMD Course page, there is a Profile link available for physicians to complete needed demographic information. Once the course is completed, please notify the OEMS so that we may issue a letter of completion.

Thanks for the work you do in EMS. Should you experience any difficulties in accessing the course, please email Steven Stringer at [email protected] or call (334) 290-6236.
