Our story

From a Massachusetts classroom to a national platform

Prodigy began in 2013 as Virtual CFM, offering CAPCE-accredited courses to EMS departments across Massachusetts. We saw the same problem everywhere: quality online training built for the pre-hospital setting was hard to find.

So we set out to build it ourselves — high-quality education, delivered well, and tracked simply. In 2016, that work became Prodigy.

Since then we've grown into an end-to-end platform for EMS recertification and compliance, but the goal hasn't changed: practical, evidence-based education that actually changes how clinicians practice.

How we build

The right expert for every course

Our content is created with subject-matter experts and active EMS professionals, and we refine the platform continuously based on real-world feedback and the latest evidence.

We're fortunate to have a full-time development team improving the Prodigy experience every week — because the best training platform is never finished.
