Hats off to the newest graduates of the FEMA US&R Medical Specialist Course in Jacksonville, Florida.

Over the past week, teams of physicians and paramedics from across the country—including as far away as Los Angeles—pushed through intense heat, storms, and long hours to complete one of the most challenging medical response trainings out there.

This wasn’t just textbook learning. These professionals trained in real-world scenarios, honing skills like:

* Treating victims trapped in rubble
* Providing prolonged field care in tough conditions
* Managing incidents under pressure
* Mastering advanced airway techniques
* Caring for working canines
* Navigating and treating patients in tight, confined spaces
* Using cutting-edge diagnostic tools
* Collaborating as one seamless unit during chaos

This course is about more than medical skills—it’s about readiness, resilience, and the kind of teamwork that saves lives when every second counts.

To every team member who showed up, trained hard, and gave it their all: we see you, and we thank you. You’re a critical part of keeping our communities safe when disaster strikes.
