&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;Certified Ambulance Documentation Specialist Course&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location: Aberdeen Public Safety Building, 114 2nd Ave SE, Aberdeen, SD 57401&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seats: &lt;em&gt;LIMIT 50 total participants&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;: 9am - 5pm&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date: August 6th, 2026&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facilities Fee: $20/person&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Course Fee: &lt;strike&gt;$90/person&lt;/strike&gt; - Paid for by SD State EMS Sustainability Grant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Certified Ambulance Documentation Specialist&amp;nbsp;(CADS) certification is the first offered by NAAC&amp;nbsp;that is specifically geared for&amp;nbsp;EMTs, paramedics and other&amp;nbsp;EMS field practitioners. It is also appropriate for EMS QA/QI personnel, supervisors/managers, compliance officers, billers&amp;nbsp;and anyone else involved in EMS clinical care or any aspect of&amp;nbsp;the ambulance service revenue cycle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every one&amp;nbsp;of your agency’s EMS field providers should take&amp;nbsp;the CADS course. Having providers at your agency&amp;nbsp;with the CADS credential shows a true&amp;nbsp;commitment to quality care and top-notch documentation&amp;nbsp;by your agency.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The CADS certification can give providers&amp;nbsp;the edge by:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Opening new doors&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Advancing&amp;nbsp;their career&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Improving their status as a healthcare professional&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The CADS course is designed to be completed in 6-7 hours of course instruction, followed by a final exam. &amp;nbsp;The CADS certification is a lifetime certification with no annual recertification requirements. Well worth the investment for a lifetime of better documentation.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
