Paramedic - Part-time

Highlights of your role:

Paramedics are prehospital clinicians who have obtained the highest level of certification in EMS. They are medical professionals who work as a part of the emergency medical services in a given area. They provide pre-hospital advanced medical and trauma care before transferring to emergency rooms of hospitals. Upon arriving at the scene, paramedics assess the nature and severity of the patient’s condition, while determining any pre-existing medical conditions.  They then transport the patient to a medical facility while providing emergency care, making sure to follow set protocols and guidelines.  While in transit, they monitor the patient’s vital signs and give additional care when needed. Once they arrive at the medical facility, the paramedic assists in transferring the patient to the emergency department and reports the details and other relevant information to the attending physician.  After each run, paramedics document the trip and restock supplies and check to make sure all equipment is in good running condition, in preparation for the next run.
