EMT Pinning Ceremony Honors 25 New Graduates

The Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program held its 10th annual pinning ceremony on Wednesday, May 4th, at the Palmer Campus. 25 students will be graduating from the program this year, their largest graduating class. And successful, too. All have been placed in jobs for which they trained. Faculty members Edward Lee and Robert Boone were on hand to honor the graduates. 

Along with the families of the students special recognition towards those in attendance.  Dr. Thornley (President), Dr. Robertson (Vice President of Academic Affairs), Dr. Diviney (Dean of Health Science), Dr. Lou Robinson (Dean of Palmer Campus) were in attendance as well as the EMS Directors for Berkeley County, Charleston County, and Dorchester County. 

The Emergency Medical Technology program prepares students to practice in the complex and dynamic profession of the EMT. The curriculum is structured to allow the beginning student to test and practice as a basic or intermediate EMT while continuing in the advanced program. Internship and clinical experiences strengthen learned material and prepare the student for the reality of practice.
