VAVRS CONVENTION

VAVRS Convention is held at the end of September in Virginia Beach, VA. EMS providers from all of Virginia attend this week long Convention. During this week, Many Activities are offered to the EMS providers. EMS CE (Continue Education) classes are taught by Doctors, Lawyers and other professionals that are not offer in most areas of Virginia. Contests are set up so that EMS teams can compete and show the many skills that they can do. Every day there is something new to do and members pack in for all of the fun activities. It is a great time to catch up with old friends and meet lots of new ones from other districts across the state. And before all is said and done, there is still time to take a dip in the Atlantic Ocean before you leave.

This is the Virginia Beach Convention Center.

Beautiful view from our hotel rooms. Ok no playing now, Contests and classes!
