Jarvis, Thanks again for spending some time together. I really enjoyed the conversation. Kelly

The past year has been a time of transformative change at #sccadems thanks to David K. Tan, M.D., FAEMS's leadership in the Chief Medical Officer role. This week on EMS1's Inside EMS podcast, he sheds light on the importance of active, engaged medical direction - take a listen! ??

Registration is NOW OPEN for the #sccadems 2025 #communityparamedic class! This intensive, two-week course is rigorous but endlessly rewarding.

#sccadems #paramedic Trent Bowers doesn't just provide outstanding care for kids - he also writes books for them!
