DAY-TO-DAY

Our part-time EMS paramedics work a varied on-call schedule depending on service needs.

As an Advanced Medical Technician / EMT, you take charge of both emergency and non-emergency medical situations to administer care and resolve the problem. When a call comes in, you leap into the ambulance and respond as quickly as possible. You serve as the lead responder while on-scene, so you assess every situation and direct the emergency care activities. Alongside your EMT team, you provide at-the-scene care as well as advanced life support services when necessary. These services include ventilator applications, oral glucose administration, emergency childbirth assistance, and oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airway placement.

You are vital to our team as you perform advanced medical techniques such as subcutaneous injections, intradermal biological tests, vaccine administrations, and nebulized inhalations. When appropriate, you administer medication such as epinephrine, morphine, diphenhydramine, and glucagon. If a patient needs to be transported, you carefully help load them into the ambulance and monitor their vital signs while on the road. Upon arriving at a hospital, you help unload the patient and share important information with their nurses and doctors. You are passionate about providing fantastic, thorough medical care, and you take great pride in being there for patients during emergency situations!
