Called to Care: Inside Northeast State's EMT, Paramedic programs - The Sound Bearier

No two paths in emergency medical services are exactly alike, but they're all united by one goal: helping others. In this episode of The Sound Bearier, co-hosts Thomas Wilson and Mackenzie Moore-Gent sit down with Northeast State Community College Paramedic instructor Nicholas Santiago and student Chelsea Harris to discuss their journeys through emergency medical services. Both Nicholas and Chelsea completed Northeast State’s EMT program 14 years ago. Today, Chelsea continues serving patients as she works toward furthering her education in the field, while Nicholas returned to the classroom to help train the next generation of EMT, AEMT and paramedic professionals. The group reflects on the realities of working in emergency services, the challenges and rewards of the profession and how Northeast State helped shape their paths. Thank you to Nicholas and Chelsea for sharing their experiences and for the work they do to care for others in moments that matter most.
