For the better part of the last 10 years, Fire Rescue and the Inlet Grove Medical Academy have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship. We have provided volunteer instructors to the Medical Academy in areas such as First Responder which has become Emergency Medical Responder, lessons on Patient Assessment and Anatomy and Physiology. We have also facilitated opportunities for their students to accompany and shadow our Medical Director during his rounds in Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. As the relationship continued, students were able to gain practical experience in the field under the direction of Fire Rescue personnel in valuable outreaches such as Monthly Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar Screenings, Community Health Fairs and teaching Community CPR to the Lay Public.
Fire Rescue and Inlet Grove Medical Academy wish to continue this relationship. Execution of this agreement will allow the students of Inlet Grove Medical Academy to continue to participate with Fire Rescue in non-emergency events and receive classroom instruction as well as gain practical field level education and training opportunities.
