College’s EMS program receives accreditation

The accreditation encompasses all aspects of a training program, including administrative support, curriculum, facilities, funding, instructor credentials, and program management. Southwestern’s successful program accreditation verifies that their EMS training program is meeting all state requirements.

Robbie Kirch, the program’s administrative support, received a laudatory comment from the accreditation evaluation team for her outstanding effort.
