GW’s new Paramedic Program recently graduated its first cohort of 23 first responders from Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia, addressing the region’s urgent need for advanced emergency care. The year-long, 1,500-hour program, developed with local fire departments, blends classroom learning with hands-on clinical training, preparing graduates for national certification. 

Graduates are equipped to perform advanced procedures like IV therapy and intubation, operating as an extension of physicians in the field. 

For Devon Lockhart, a DC Fire and EMS graduate, the program was a rare opportunity for career growth. “I felt like I received a high-quality education,” she said, crediting the instructors’ support. As these new paramedics begin their careers, they play a vital role in improving emergency medical services and healthcare access across the region.
