I think it's so awesome that my professors that are teaching my classes have real-world experiences and share them with us in class. It makes me feel like I am learning more from them and get to ask questions about what it is like to be in some of the dangerous situations that we learn about.
Emergency Services Student
I chose this program for a very personal reason. I had a near death experience, and it was the paramedics that helped me. That made me want to help others. I was so excited when I saw that UVU has a paramedic program because it gave me the chance to give back to my community the same way that the paramedics helped me.
