Paramedic

The Paramedic works in an EMS system under the guidance of a physician. The Paramedic is a direct extension of the hospital-based physician, and can serve as the physician's eyes, ears, and hands in the street or in the home-anywhere that EMS is needed. Opportunities outside of the traditional Paramedic role may exist in employment in area hospital emergency departments, critical care, life flight, industrial safety, and community para medicine.
