A classroom may not seem like the natural habitat for a self-professed “adrenaline junkie” like Austin Groesser, but he’ll be in one this fall.
The firefighter and EMT is one of the first students in a new associate degree-paramedic program offered jointly by NMC and Munson Regional EMS. This semester he’s taking English, biology, and psychology while continuing to accrue work experience as an EMT. Once Groesser has two years of EMT experience, he’ll be eligible to enroll in Munson’s paramedic program. NMC will accept the coursework he completes in that program as transfer credit. And by September 2017, Groesser expects to earn both his associate degree and his paramedic license.
“If I’m going to spend the time doing it, I’d much rather have a paper degree plus my license,” said the 2013 graduate of Traverse City West High School.
Groesser, 19, said the versatility of the degree attracts him. His career goal is to be a full-time firefighter, but departments want to hire individuals who can double as paramedics.
“Fire medics are the future,” he said, adding that he’s drawn to both the adrenaline rush of the job and the potential to do good.
“It’s a really powerful job. You can save lives,” he said.
Daryl Case, manager of Regional EMS Education for Munson, said the degree is important in the context of a career lifetime.
“Being a paramedic is a young person’s game,” Case said. “They look to move up the line to management, education.”
Rudy Rakan is completing the program in the opposite direction. He already has two years of EMT experience working for Munson and two different ground agencies, so he began the paramedic portion of the program in July. Also 19 and a Traverse City West High School graduate, Rakan expects to complete that in fall of 2016 and begin his NMC coursework in spring 2017.
“When I found out they were offering the associate degree, I was excited because as a health care industry everything is pushing toward more education,” he said.
Students could also flow to other NMC programs like nursing.
“The student is the one who gains,” said Laura Schmidt, NMC’s director of nursing.
NMC will also provide assessment testing for incoming students.

TRAVERSE CITY, MI — See cool cars and support students at NMC’s 10th annual Mike McIntosh Memorial Truck and Car Show.
Saturday, September 12, 2015 car enthusiasts will display their classic cars, 4X4s, dragsters, sports cars, modified late models, motorcycles and more. The show, from 11 a.m.–3 p.m., will be held at NMC’s Automotive Services Building at 2510 Aero Park Drive. Admission is free for spectators. There is a $10 entry fee per vehicle for contestants. Registration begins at 8 a.m. Trophies are awarded for best of show in each class. Enjoy food, music, a silent auction — including program vehicles — and door prizes for entrants. Proceeds benefit NMC’s Automotive Program and scholarships.
Student projects and vehicles will also be on display. This year students will continue the tradition of restoring and donating vehicles to the Goodwill Workers on Wheels Program. Students will also tackle the fun challenge of restoring a 1963 Ford Galaxie called the “Barney Ride.” The vintage police cruiser, like the one featured in “The Andy Griffith Show,” comes complete with radio and lights.
The show is named for the late NMC Automotive instructor Mike McIntosh, who retired in 2004 after 34 years of service. McIntosh organized the first car show for the Automotive Program in 2004.
