"This pathway agreement between St. Clair College and Wayne State University empowers Paramedic and OTA/PTA students to seamlessly advance their education, turning hands-on training into a lifelong academic and professional journey," said St. Clair College School of Health Sciences Chair Dr. Stephanie De Franceschi. "It’s a vital step in building stronger healthcare systems through accessible, continuous learning."
