In past CREATE Tips of the Week, we’ve talked about participant eligibility. This week’s tip touches on entity eligibility. Eligible entities have to be either a recognized training center or state recognized EMS provider. If an applying entity is neither, the entity must have some mechanism in place to prove certification of learning. For example, an entity that is neither a training center nor state recognized EMS provider can partner with a community college or training center, as long as the partnering entity will sign off on students’ course work under their accreditation.

Please direct all questions about entity eligibility to Lakesha Jones, Grant Manger, at lj@couralhealth.org or Samantha Hiner, Program Coordinator at sh@coruralhealth.org. For more information on CREATE, visit our web page at https://coruralhealth.org/programs/create/.
