Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe University Approved to Become an Emergency Medical Service Training Center

(Hayward, WI) – December 20, 2023 - The Wisconsin Department of Health Services issued their approval to LCOOU on October 4th, 2023, to become an Emergency Medical Service Training Center (EMS Training Center).

The EMS Training Center shall offer Emergency Medical Service (EMS) courses, training students to become Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs). The University is seeking an Emergency Medical Technician II (EMT II) as an Adjunct Instructor who would teach those didactic and practicum courses for the program, starting June 2024. Dr. Dorothy Novak, emergency medicine, will be the Center’s medical director. She will be working alongside Jamie Gohde, LCOOU nursing program director.

“To address the shortage of emergency medical service personnel in our area, we created a workgroup with Round Lake/Rescue Medical Responders, Sawyer County Ambulance, and Great Divide Ambulance Service. The workgroup found the major barrier to recruiting and producing emergency medical service personnel was the lack of a local EMS Training Center, and that’s where we developed a plan for LCOOU to become one,” Gohde said.
