Invitation from the Program Director
Dear Prospective Student:
Advance your career at Montana’s only
nationally accredited paramedic program while enjoying the breathtaking beauty
of Big Sky country. The 1800-hour paramedic degree program utilizes online,
hybrid, traditional classroom, and skills laboratory delivery methods to ensure
a flexible but rigorous educational experience. Furthermore, students may choose
to take the spring semester pre-requisite classes entirely online or on campus.
The paramedic core classes and hospital and field internships run from September
through August. ACLS, PHTLS, PALS, and NRP certifications are also included in
the curriculum. Financial aid, housing, and VA benefits are available to
qualified students.
The paramedic program is housed in the new health
sciences building on the MSUB College of Technology campus. This provides you
with the small campus atmosphere of MSUB's College of Technology, but also
allows you the luxury of resources that only a larger university can provide.
Finally, I would like to share with you the qualities that I will bring to
the classroom as the paramedic program director. I have
been a paramedic since 1977 and director of paramedic programs since 1984. My
teaching philosophy revolves around student needs and bridging classroom
instruction to real street application. Currently I am working on my PhD in
human services with a focus in
public safety. Additionally, I serve as a nationally recognized
lecturer, author, expert witness and consultant for prehospital emergency
medicine.
If you are truly serious about
advancing your career, send for an application packet today. It will be the best
professional decision you can make. Classes start January 2010.
