Biography

Prior to becoming an instructor and clinical coordinator, Sarah Johnson spent time as the EMT coordinator, paramedic lab coordinator and AHA coordinator. She has been a nationally registered paramedic for over 10 years. In that time, Johnson gained experience as a street medic, EMS supervisor, patient care technician in an emergency department and a consultant for a start-up patient care documentation company. In addition to her responsibilities at the Center, she is also a state evaluator for both BLS and ALS certification practical exams. This unique combination of experience has only added to her passion for EMS and, in particular, EMS education.
