“I am extremely proud of this group and the accomplishments that were obtained throughout the year,” said Hooker.
There were eight graduates from the program, all from the immediate service area of the college, with each completing more than 1,200 hours of instruction and clinical time.
“These students have made deep sacrifices for this accomplishment,” said Justus Smith, paramedic coordinator at Motlow State. “Becoming a paramedic is a major achievement and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to be a part of their education.”
Stephen Alderman of Tullahoma received the Top Student award in recognition for excellent academic and clinical achievement in the classroom setting. He is currently employed at Warren County EMS and Williamson Medical Center EMS.
