Welcome to the 2026 SOJ EMS Conference!
We are so excited to welcome you back to Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon, for a three-day EMS education extravaganza!
Our main conference is March 13-14, both days packed with CE classes taught by local and national experts in emergency medicine. The conference features ALS, BLS, and Leadership tracks in addition to top-notch general sessions.
March 12 is a full day of hands-on preconference courses for providers who want to take a deep dive on topics ranging from rural vehicle extrication to respiratory critical care:
Managing the Agitated Patient: Using actual footage from recent cases of death in EMS custody as a learning tool, you will discuss and practice safe restraint and sedation and learn how to optimize interactions with law enforcement partners.

Extrication for Rural Providers: Using common tools in small groups, get hands-on experience with rapid trauma extrication.
Fire and Rescue Operations and Extrication for Transport Providers: Learn rapid extrication and scene management techniques for the day you are first on scene.
Hands-On High-Risk Obstetrics: Learn and practice real-world techniques for management of breech, shoulder dystocia, and other high-risk presentations.
