Welcome!

Being a paramedic has been an incredibly rewarding career that I would like to share with you.  In my career I have had the satisfaction of great partners, saving lives and have mastered pre-hospital care at the paramedic level.   I have helped dozens of EMT’s become paramedics and want to reach more motivated EMS professionals who want to be the best.  I have been teaching paramedics since 1992 and know the strategies for success as well as the pitfalls that cause students to fail.  I want to share this information with you and answer your questions about paramedic education.  Check out the posts and suggestions for paramedic class success.  Think of the paramedic student mentor as your senior partner that is here to show you the way to success!
