During EMS Week, it’s important to recognize dedicated EMS providers as well as spotlight ways they can move forward in their careers. To that end, the fire and EMS degree programs offered by Columbia Southern University were designed with busy professionals in mind.

In our latest EMS World podcast, host Mike McCabe sits down with Padgett to learn more about the career-expanding options available to today’s hardworking first responders.
