What does a part time paramedic do?

As a part-time paramedic, you respond to emergency medical calls and help rescue people. You communicate with dispatchers to ensure the safety of everyone involved, provide on-site medical treatment, transport patients in an ambulance, and provide reports on the condition of patients to physicians and nurses. You may work a few long shifts per week or several shorter shifts. For example, employers may ask you to work during peak hours to help ensure they can handle the expected call volume. Paramedics should not be confused with EMT workers, who have significantly less training and cannot perform the same scope of treatments as paramedics.
