The State of Jefferson EMS Conference, a place to learn, connect, and grow in the world of EMS.

Why Attend SOJ?

  • Dream it.

    “Great people with great ideas coming together with a common goal.”

  • Live it.

    “Being in a room with other providers happily "nerding out" on EMS. It's a yearly vacation from burnout.”

  • Grow it.

    “The new information gained from the speakers. As we know, EMS is ever evolving. So hearing changes, new studies, etc, coming out, gives me lots to think about and see how it may change how I see or do my own practices.”

  • Practice it.

    “Smaller session and the ability to interact with the speakers through the entire event.”
