End of Program

We met one last time as a group on Sunday.  Students are now registering for their computerized national EMT exams; Tressa, Emile and Lauren will test here in Missoula tomorrow.

We have said this before:  this is an amazing group.  In addition to their intelligence and motivation, they were phenomenally supportive of each other during two and half challenging and intense months.  We feel very privileged to have had them as students and look forward to hearing great things about each of them in the future.  Jenna, Emile, Emilie, Sam D, Sam V, Tressa, Savannah, Lauren, Liam, Taylor, Miranda and Dylan:  Thank you!  Thank you also to our instructors:  Darcy, Trenton, Andrea, Fernando, Drs. Moore and Johnson, our swifwater instructor Mike Johnston, avalanche instructors Dudley Improta and Tim Laroche, HazMat instructor Dan Corti, cadaver lab instructor Miranda Lewis, the Missoula City Fire Department, Melissa Diebert and the ambulance staff at Missoula Emergency Services, the staff of St. Patrick Hospital Emergency Department, staff at Rancho Mastatal in Costa Rica and the Rich Ranch in Seeley Lake and numerous others who donned fake wounds, jumped into icy rivers, buried themselves in snow and otherwise acted hurt or contributed their expertise.
