What a great class of EMTB’s, EMTI’s, EMTP’s, PA’s. and MD’s.  WMI of NOLS, without a doubt, has a great design and curriculum for blending these different care providers into a functional, hands on, and practical course.  But I aways, I believe that the human interaction between all involved makes the course - the memorable experience that it is.  We remember best the memories that are pertinent and fun….seems that when we smile we are able to better anchor our lessons learned.  We must of learned a lot….my face is still hurting from smiling  so much.  Thank you to all of the students and staff that made this course such a great experience!

Having a blast with the May-June EMTB class this year.  Lots of folks from the southeast mixed with folks from all over.  Many of our students have previously completed a WFR course through WMI of NOLS.   Not critical, but really helps as the EMT information and skills keep getting piled higher and deeper.  We have formed a pretty solid community of folks that work and study together well.  All of the instructional staff are impressed with our student achievements and time management.  I guess “when the going gets tough, the tough get going!
