We're about a month into our Summer 2025 course and we're starting to receive word that our Spring cohort is passing the NREMT. Woohoo!It was a humbling semester for some and myself. During one particular office hours session, a student came in to retake their first practical [airway, respiratory, and cardiac]. About halfway through the first scenario, I had to stop the student due to poor performance.

We're in the last two weeks of our spring course!! All we have left are a couple lectures, a final practical, and a final exam. We implemented two big additions to this class: office hours and a competency protocol. They go hand in hand. We required our students to both score at least a 70% on every exam as well as demonstrate and adequate understanding of the patient assessment for each practical.

Our third annual graduation ceremony was a success. We hosted around 250 people at the SkyDeck of the Sears Tower. We had Chief Deborah Sommer and Dr. Dave Nayak speak some wisdom and inspiration to some newly minted EMTs and their families. We also hosted various agencies where our new grads could be utilized. Agencies like CFD, CPD, OEMC, IL state police, cook county sheriff's office, and various private ambulance companies.

The majority of our students come from a premedical background but there are a few with other career choices such as firefighter, paramedic, law enforcement, etc. I truly believe becoming an EMT is one of the best decisions you can make when you’re either on the fence of diving into healthcare or if you want to pursue something deeper in healthcare.

Raise your hand if you're familiar with this piece of equipment! If not, you should be. Gone are the days where we check the cuffs of king tubes for leaks and rub our non-sterile fingers over them with lube. The iGel is based off of weight in kilograms rather than height like its predecessor. The shape is flatter than the king tube to minimize rotation while in the mouth.
