Six Tacoma firefighters graduated from our nationally accredited paramedic training program in a special ceremony this afternoon.
Over the course of the program, each student worked their way through more than 2,000 pages of assigned reading, answering thousands of test questions on the material. The hands-on portion of the curriculum involved over 1,500 clinical hours in the field and hospital settings demonstrating competency in a variety of emergency medical techniques.
