PORTSMOUTH, Dominica, Feb. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The American Canadian School of Medicine (ACSOM) is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Dominica Fire and Ambulance Services Portsmouth Unit conducting a training initiative with 12 fire officers.
The training session was aimed at enhancing the emergency response capabilities of the fire officers, and was facilitated by Dr. Eric B.

By equipping fire officers with essential life-saving techniques, we aim to bolster the resilience of our community when faced with medical emergencies.
