Named awards are presented each year to individuals who are enrolled in, or planning to enroll in an accredited educational program in any medical professional program. These include, but are not limited to, Physicians Assistance Programs, EMT or EMT Advanced Classes, Paramedic Programs, Nursing Programs (including CNA).
