Thanks to generous scholarships from American Medical Response, all 19 students in the Oregon Tech/OHSU Paramedic program entering their final Paramedic Field Externship Practicum in June will have their tuition covered! As part of AMR's commitment to supporting the education and development of future emergency medical service professionals, AMR will provide scholarships to all current paramedic students entering an externship in the Oregon Tech/Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) program at the Oregon Tech Portland-Metro campus. Oregon Tech Professor and EMS Department Chair Jamie Kennel shared that the partnership contributes to the success of paramedic students and the broader EMS community. "I extend my appreciation to AMR for their support of Oregon Tech/OHSU's paramedic students," Kennel said. "Their commitment to educational initiatives and building a skilled EMS workforce is invaluable." Thank you, AMR, for your continued support of EMS education! If you are a current Paramedic student who would like additional information, please contact Dr. Kennel at jamie.kennel@oit.edu.
