AMR Earn While You Learn Program: 13 Graduates in Hinds County
AMR Central Mississippi has thirteen newly trained emergency medical technicians in Hinds County. The graduates will support Emergency Medical Services (EMS) as part of AMR’s “Earn While You Learn” course. The three month program began in 2019 and hires students to train as emergency medical technicians (EMTs). The program requires students to commit to work one year with AMR following completion of the course and earning their EMT certification. In response to the shortage of emergency medical responders, AMR has collaborated with local fire departments for firefighters to take the course. AMR is aiming to train as many EMTs as possible.
