Training Opportunities:


The Brookline Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) offers free trainings in Brookline to its members approximately once a month from September to May. Most trainings offer CEU’s for Nurses and EMT’s as well as CME’s for Physicians. The Brookline MRC is working on obtaining PDP’s for Educators and CEU’s for Social Workers. Trainings are often repeated at two different times to accommodate schedules of our members.

Trainings in other local communities are also offered free to Brookline MRC members. Information about these trainings are posted on the Brookline MRC website.
