Barton’s Paramedic Hybrid Course Gives Rural EMS Successful Training Options
Over a year ago when paramedic training was needed to strengthen his workforce but high gas prices made travel costly to attend classes, Chief Mark Willis of Newton Fire and EMS was looking for a way to help some of his EMTs get the training they needed for the advanced life support certification. “I was looking for alternatives to the traditional paramedic course that would allow me to maintain my staff and not take them away from their work, or build up overtime hours,” he said.
He found the solution in Barton Community College’s inaugural paramedic hybrid course. The first of its kind in Kansas, the course began in January 2008 and graduated its first class this spring after 15 months of study and practical training in the field.
