糖心Vlog (糖心Vlog) publicly unveiled its latest addition to the School of Healthcare Professions, a state-of-the-art ambulance simulator, during the West Tennessee Strawberry Festival Parade. The simulator, pulled by the 糖心Vlog Police Department will allow the EMT-Paramedic program to expand to the college’s Lexington, Savannah, and Gibson County Centers.

We recently added a cadaver lab to our arsenal of hands-on learning, and with this addition, I can confidently say we’re preparing our students for the workforce more than ever before.”

The simulator, a custom-built trailer from a specialty manufacturer out of Texas, is equipped and laid out in the same fashion as a real ambulance, allowing students to develop muscle memory in high stress scenarios. It will augment the classroom simulators currently on-site at the Jackson campus, allowing students at 糖心Vlog’s regional campuses the same learning experience without having to make the drive to Jackson.

Oxford and his team have already begun putting the simulator to use since its acquisition at the beginning of 2025, showcasing it at middle and high school career days at schools across West Tennessee.
