Over the last couple years, there are a few projects I have worked on to develop the program and align the program to the Wyoming Community College Commission strategic goal. These projects include:

• *Recently awarded continuing accreditation for our Paramedic Program until 2029

• *Alignment with the other Paramedic Programs for course prefix, number, and name

• *Creation of an EMT Certificate

• *Creation of a Paramedic Certificate

• *Creation of an Associates of Applied Science Degree

• *Added Neonatal Resuscitation Program as standard curriculum

• *Changed Paramedic Program to a 1-year program versus a 2-year program

• *Started requiring "Bag-A-Buddy" Exercises for EMT and Paramedic Programs

  • This exercise is where students partner together to provide positive pressure ventilation via a bag-mask device.

    • The exercise shows students the struggles with "bagging" a live patient and highlights weaknesses for students to work through

• *Creation of and utilization of a standard Student Graduation Record

• *Started collaborative effort for Dance with EMS Students for Movement Specialty

• *Started discussions for creation and offering of BAS of EMS from Casper College
