But lets don't let facts get in the way. The fact is the students are not going to get near the same education as the nationally ranked and recognized local program. If I am an employer who am I going to hire? The express program or the program that really focuses on getting the best education for their students? Bob Jones EMT,

It is GREAT that someone else is offering a EMT program because PSC has such a waiting list and their program is WAY TO LONG. 10 week course is a better course than 2 or 3 days a week for 6 months.

In fact, it is ranked in the top of the nation. It more than fills the needs of this area. Is this a good use of tax payer money to offer a program that is not needed? Midway closed their program recently. The reason PSC doesn't move their EMT program around is because they have heavily invested in their program at Warrington. It has state of the art simulation manikins, built in ambulances in the lab, modern classroom equipment that cannot be moved around. I know their staff is known nationally in their field for their simulation. I suspect this is move is more about enrollment that serving the communities needs.

I know people in Jay and Walnut Hill area that wouldve had to drive all that way out there then home but this fixes everything. Thanks George Stone, Mrs. Knight and others that put this program together.
