What happens if I do not meet the 10 patient contacts by the January 31st deadline?

I am an Advanced Care Paramedic (ACP). Can I use my alternative patient contacts/experiences for my 10 patient contacts AND elective CME?

I received an email stating I do not have enough patient contacts for the current certification year which I believe is an error. What do I do now?

Do my patient contacts obtained at another Base Hospital count towards my 10 patient contacts?

Do my patient contacts as a Community Paramedic count towards my 10 patient contacts?

Are my patient contacts prorated if I am a newly certified paramedic or have had a leave of absence?

What is the process for submitting alternative experiences for approval?

What alternative experiences can I complete towards my 10 patient contacts?

What is the deadline for completing my 10 patient contacts?

What is considered a patient contact?
