Accomplishments

    I am very motivated in learning and wanting to further my training. I was taking advanced courses such as ACLS, PALS, AMLS, PEPP, ITLS and NRP as an EMT when most are designed for a paramedic provider.

I continue at this time in seeking my Level III instructor to be able to teach all levels up to Paramedic.
