Summary

An island EMT class ran for five months in early 1986, using Beaver Island Community School rooms and support from the Medical and Fire Department Auxiliaries. The May issue reports that the course completed its state-board written and practical examinations on April 12.

Evidence limits

The February article documents training in progress and planned clinical experience; the May article documents the examinations. Neither supplies individual examination results, certification records, a final trainee roster, or later emergency-service deployment.

Sources

  1. Reports an 80-hour class meeting twice weekly in Community School rooms, up to 12 trainees, an all-day Charlevoix Hospital workshop with obstetric and pediatric emergency lectures, and planned eight-hour emergency-room clinical experience at one of three mainland hospitals. It names instructors and trainees but does not provide certification files, a final roster, or course-completion record. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
