Made possible by The Floyd Hooker Foundation
Want to join a new and exciting way to learn about healthcare careers? CEMS's Junior Member Healthcare Program is changing how we introduce the next generation to healthcare. Providing not only educational content but hands on learning and access to experts from around the region as well. Our Junior members will gain real life experience by participating in trainings and meetings as part of our team. When applying to colleges that have a very competitive admissions process the difference is very often made by community service or volunteer experience and our program is both. The Program is currently open to 15-18 year olds who have an interest in healthcare. Juniors are provided with training in CPR and First Aid and will attend a Stop The Bleed class, and that's just the beginning. In the past few years Juniors have been able to obtain their EMT certification prior to graduation from high school and have been given a start on a career path while they pursue higher education.
Emergency Medical services is changing and that means a lot of changes needed to be made in how we provide those services. With the generosity of The Floyd Hooker Foundation we are able to reimagine what a junior program looks like. WBNG news came to talk with us about what that means for our squad and The Town of Candor now and in the future.
