Faculty

Ultimately, a school is only as good as its instructional staff. Ours sets us apart. They are all working professionals with up to date experience and excellent credentials. The cases they encounter in the field inspire their classroom presentations and practical demonstrations. Our students tell us that our instructors’ current field experience makes the classes more relevant and interesting. Our high National Registry EMT and Paramedic exam pass rates provide evidence of the quality training our students receive. What isn't reflected in exam scores and pass rates, however, is the learning that prepares you for the workplace.  In our programs, your first day in class is like the first day on the job, and you are taught the skills and attitudes that will set you apart from others.  It is a competitive field, as it should be because your job is about saving lives. Here is our EMS faculty, the people that will prepare you for your new career.
