Justin Pedneault

AHA Training Site Coordinator

Hello everyone!  I'm Justin and I've been a part of UConn Rescue since 2015 just after it was founded.  I am responsible for the creation of the training program.  I have been working in EMS since I was 14 years old and I love teaching and working with our instructor team.  I now serve as the Training Site Coordinator from the American Heart Association, overseeing all training compliance and new instructor training at UConn Rescue.  I graduated from UConn in May of 2019 and I now work as a Flight Nurse/Paramedic with a local helicopter based critical care transport team.
