“Working as an EMT has significantly shaped my perspectives on the U.S. healthcare system and my desired role within it. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity to serve the U of A community and meaningfully impact the lives of others. The friendships I’ve built within this agency have been invaluable, and I could not be more thankful.”
