Paramedic Challenge Refresher
Program
The paramedic challenge refresher program uses both written and
practical examinations to uncover areas of weakness in didactic
knowledge and practical skill proficiency. The student will only be
required to attend the sessions that are mandatory and the sessions
related to the topics that student's demonstrated weakness in. As
an example, if the student did not do well in the Medical
Emergencies section of the examination and they were unsuccessful
at the Patient Assessment station the student would be required to
attend the lecture and skills session.

skill stations.
