Come be part of a team that’s training the next generation of EMS and public safety professionals!

One of the exciting opportunities available to our paramedic students is the chance to complete a ride-along with Centra One, the region’s medical helicopter, during the final phase of their field clinical experience. Students must meet specific program criteria before participating in this advanced clinical experience.

Earlier this week, Matt had the opportunity to take part in a flight with the Centra One crew. Experiences like this allow our students to see the critical role that air medical services play in emergency care and patient transport.

Great job, Matt, on reaching this milestone! 🚁

A big thank you to Centra One and Centra Health for being such a strong partner in helping us train the next generation of paramedics.
