Augusta University Student Awarded $1000 National Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Scholarship

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - July 20, 2020 - PRLog -- The team at Platinum Educational Group understands the struggles and obstacles that are presented to students obtaining higher education in the healthcare industries. In 2015, Platinum Educational Group launched its inaugural scholarships program geared at Emergency Medical Services (EMS) students. In 2016, the company expanded its product line to include nursing and allied health fields. It only seemed fitting to expand its scholarships program to include the hardworking and dedicated students in those fields as well.

The 2020 EMS scholarship was awarded to Augusta University student Jachua Polcyn from Augusta, Georgia. The field of EMS interested Jachua because he wanted to render care to those in need. After graduation, Mr. Polcyn plans to work as a Paramedic in the Augusta and Atlanta areas as well as in a hospital clinical setting to expand his knowledge and prepare for Medical School.  Mr. Polcyn's thesis was an in-depth look at patient discrimination in Emergency Medicine "In depth sensitivity training can combat patient discrimination and lead to improved outcomes concerning patient treatment and mortality," stated Mr. Polcyn.  "There is no room for discrimination in a field founded on helping patients."

One of Platinum Educational Group's goals is to aid students entering healthcare industries via their annual scholarship program.  "It's an honor to support these deserving students who will become leaders and mentors in their professions," stated Platinum CEO Jason Jensen. He added, "We look forward to continuing our annual scholarship program for years to come."
