participate in skill training and field experiences and classroom instruction under the a ppropriate supervision of the
Collier County Emergency Medical Services Department.
CONSIDERATIONS: EMS employees currently attend Braxton College to obtain Paramedic certification to
obtain advanced skills to care for citizens and visitors of Collier County. The Paramedic program instruction
physically located at Braxton College is not a “shift friendly” class and is challenging for employees to attend while
expected to be on shift at EMS. A partnership with Braxton College will allow EMS employees to in struct the
students in house at EMS and provide a flexible schedule for students to attend. EMS will provide the instructors
and classroom space and Braxton will provide the administrative oversight for the program.
Braxton College desires to augment their curriculum by partnering with EMS to provide classroom instructional
training and providing skill training/field experiences for its students through the association of the activities and
practices of the Collier County Emergency Medical Services Department.

opportunities for students to learn in the classroom and observe and perform appropriate Emergency Medical
Technician and/ or Paramedic skills under supervision during field experiences to benefit the community by and
through the enhanced education of its students.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no charge for EMS to host the course. EMS currently pays tuition for students to
attend Braxton at their site. The tuition payment will continue by EMS for students who apply.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney. The proposed agreement
supersedes and replaces the current agreement. The proposed agreement is approved as to form and legality, with
majority vote required to approve the agreement. -JAK
