The Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Tech/OHSU Paramedic program—a nationally recognized leader in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) education —continues its path to success by welcoming Adam Wagner, longtime EMS professional, as the new director of the program. Wagner plans to sustain and expand on the success of the program achieved most recently by former director Jamie Kennel. Wagner hopes to learn from the past, focus on increasing nationwide partnerships that provide a pathway for student experience, and involve more students in research opportunities. Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Tech/OHSU’s Paramedic program focuses on managing infield emergencies, critical thinking, clinical assessment, procedural expertise, and crew resource management skills while working as part of an interdisciplinary patient care team. Students within the program also gain hands-on experience working with some of the program’s nearly 40 industry partners, such as Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, one of the most progressive EMS agencies in the country. The program has educated paramedics for nearly 50 years, and Wagner explains that one of the biggest strengths is the quality of the students who attend.
