In response to the situation, the EMSP program is working to transition as much as possible online and virtually. There will be no face-to-face class time. Classes will continue Monday, May 30th with as little disruption to the students\u2019 education as possible. Currently, we are still planning on Summer classes in both EMT and Paramedic programs, even if remotely to begin with. As always, our thoughts go out to those on the front line in this pandemic. To the students, both current and prospective, let there be no question that the career choice you\u2019ve made already makes you a hero.<\/p>\n<p>Don Gwynn<br \/>\nProfessor, Department Chair\/Program Director ACC EMSP Department [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;right-column&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Search the Health Sciences Website<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html el_class=&#8221;search-box&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1563825898678{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwYXN5bmMlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRmNzZS5nb29nbGUuY29tJTJGY3NlLmpzJTNGY3glM0QwMDM3NzAzNDE0NjUyNjUyNzczNjMlM0FkMzNieWhkNGF1OCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRSUwQSUzQ2RpdiUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIyZ2NzZS1zZWFyY2glMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZkaXYlM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">EMS Professions Updates<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<ul class=\"lcp_catlist\" id=\"lcp_instance_0\"><li><h4 class=\"lcp-title\">New Testing Center Hours Begin August 24<\/h4><p class=\"lcp-excerpt\">Testing Center hours are changing August 24 at HLC, RRC, and Riverside campuses, with expanded Saturday availability.<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.austincc.edu\/health\/updates\/new-testing-center-hours-begin-august-24\/\" class=\"read-more\">Read more<\/a><\/li><li><h4 class=\"lcp-title\">ACC C.A.R.E.
