Meet Hawkeye’s Summer EMT class! They are making the most of every minute as they work through the Emergency Medical Technician program.

Because the summer term is shorter, students move through the same required curriculum in a condensed timeframe, balancing classroom instruction, hands-on skills practice, simulations, and clinical experiences at an intensive pace. Their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to learning are on full display each day.

We are proud to help prepare the next generation of EMS professionals to serve our communities.

Please join us in wishing these students continued success as they progress through the program!

We are excited to share a major enhancement to the learning experience in the EMS program at Hawkeye Community College!

Check out our new ambulance simulator from Simulator Solutions, bringing a new level of realism to paramedic education. This state-of-the-art unit is designed to move and simulate real transport conditions, allowing students to practice patient care in a dynamic, high-fidelity environment.

This addition was made possible through the generous support of our donors and the Hawkeye Community College Foundation. Their investment directly impacts student learning and helps ensure our graduates are workforce-ready from day one.
