Mayor Bowser Announces Paramedic Program Partnership with DC Fire & EMS and UDC
Washington, DC – Mayor Muriel Bowser today announced a new partnership between the DC Fire & Emergency Medical Services (DC FEMS) and the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) to create a Paramedic Program that will train and certify District residents as paramedics. The program is part of the Mayor’s commitment to investing in public safety and providing District residents with the skills and training they need to succeed.
“This new Paramedic Program will help us to recruit and train more paramedics, which will improve the quality of emergency medical services in the District,” said Mayor Bowser. “We are grateful to DC FEMS and UDC for their partnership in this important initiative.”
The Paramedic Program will be a one-year, full-time program that will provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to become certified paramedics. The program will be offered at UDC’s Community College and will include classroom instruction, clinical rotations, and field experience.
“We are excited to partner with DC FEMS and UDC to offer this Paramedic Program,” said Dr. Ronald Mason Jr., UDC President. “This program will provide our students with the training and skills they need to succeed in this field and make a difference in the lives of District residents.”
The Paramedic Program is part of Mayor Bowser’s commitment to investing in public safety. In recent years, the Mayor has increased funding for DC FEMS, hired more firefighters and paramedics, and purchased new equipment. The Mayor has also created the Public Safety Training Center, which provides state-of-the-art training facilities for first responders.
“This Paramedic Program is a win-win for the District,” said DC FEMS Chief John Donnelly. “It will help us to recruit and train more paramedics, which will improve the quality of emergency medical services in the District. It will also provide District residents with a pathway to a good-paying job.”
The Paramedic Program is expected to launch in the fall of 2025. Applications for the program will be available on UDC’s website.
