va35 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Sorry I could not respond to any posts for a couple of days. Again I appreciate all the comments and help from a forum like this. The exact place where I will be staying at is by The university of Columbia. I am leaving on March 20 of next month to hopefully be enrolled in an accelerated emt program , I am however interested in going to GW university but I am not sure if they accept students just for the program. Would there be any other places in the area to enroll ? Thank you
scubanurse Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 You mean UDC?? Look into NVCC here: http://www.nvcc.edu/curcatalog/programs/ Best of luck to you!
va35 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 What is UDC ? and i mean a fast program that would take a month or 2 to be certified. all the other ones are about a year long ? i hope to be back in SF in about a year. A similar program to www.sfparamedics.com but in washington d.c NW area
scubanurse Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 As far as I know there is no University of Columbia only University of the DISTRICT of columbia hence UDC... You will be hard pressed to find any program that is less the 5 weeks and the only time I have heard of that was during the summer at the training academy, we went 8-4 5 days a week for 5 weeks... resources have been provided and I wish you the best of luck...
paramedicmike Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I was also going to post the NVCC link but Kate beat me to it. As has been noted, there is no University of Columbia in Washington, DC. There is a University of the District of Columbia. You have been provided with as much info as is available. Good luck.

The Medical campus in Springfield isnt far from DC at all, and has a great EMT-B, I, and P program.
