MedStar EMS Reps will be in Galveston!

[Guest guest]

MedStar EMS, the exclusive EMS provider for Fort Worth and 14

surrounding cities, will be in Galveston this Wednesday and Thursday

(April 9th and 10th)to meet with EMTs and Paramedics that may be

interested in becoming a medic in the MedStar EMS system.

If you are interested in meeting with us, please feel free to call

a Shivers at: , or Macara Trusty at: . We

would be happy to schedule a time to meet you and discuss all MedStar

EMS has to offer. Some system details are listed below:

Our system is the 12th largest in the nation (based on the population

served), with an annual operating budget in excess of 22 million

dollars. MedStar responded to over 92,000 calls in 2007, with over

95% of those being Emergent calls. We also provide a Mounted EMS

Team, Bike Team, and special event EMS for the annual Stockshow and

Rodeo, NASCAR/IRL races, and concerts.

Paramedics function under the Medical Direction of Dr.

Griswell and the Emergency Physician's Advisory Board (EPAB).

Advanced skills include 12 Lead EKG, Capnography, Crash Airway

(pharmacologically assisted intubation), and a current ROC study

(study on increased sodium infusion on trauma patients). There is a

good mix of medical and trauma calls that provide a vast array of

patient care challenges which sharpen the skills of the medics in a

high-performance environment.

Currently, there are over 300 employees supporting this operation,

the vast majority of which are EMT's and Paramedics. Clinical and

educational support is provided for all full-time and part-time

employees, including an in-house Paramedic program, Instructor

Methodology course, Cadaver labs, quarterly continuing education

opportunities, card classes for ACLS, PHTLS, PPC, AMLS, GEMS, and

others. Each ambulance is generally staffed with a Paramedic and an

EMT-Intermediate or EMT-Basic, although there are occasionally dual

Paramedic units. Multiple shift options are available in 12-, 16-,

or 24-hour durations. MedStar offers shift differential for certain

shifts.

We hope to meet you in Galveston!

Hi Macara,

Can you send me Dr. Griswell's email address? I am working on an article

for EMS Magazine and I would like to get his ideas about it.

BTW, there's a two-day SLAM course with cadaver lab at UNT this Sat and

Sunday. If anybody is interested, have them go to airwayeducation.com.

Thanks.
