A friend of mine completed the two week CCEMTP at UMBC. I enrolled in the same course at one of their "licensed sites" (a four month duration) in Pennsylvania. The quality of instructors, the ability to integrate clinical observation and the overall educational quality between the two delivery...

Four Loko is a weekly headache (starting Thursday night and ending early Sunday morning) for my one service as we protect a 10,000 student college campus in eastern Pennsylvania where Four Loko is prevalent. It has made all the media markets that serve eastern Pennsylvania. The town that...
