Hi all! There is a new association in California representing EMS professionals. Even if you are not an EMD, EMR, EMT, AEMT or Paramedic in California, please "Like" this page to support us!  CAAEMT Facebook Page

 

The mission of the California Association of Emergency Medical Technicians is to serve the prehospital EMS care providers of California by presenting networking opportunities, offer continuing education, work with CAAEMT partners to give discounts on services and products, and represent its membership during discussions that will readily affect their practice and protocols.

So, the EMS Today conference this year (2011) has come and gone. Major points put out by Dr. Meyers in the Keynote speech, as well as a few very resounding themes common thread in many presentations.  These themes directly affect fire service EMS. Any thoughts out there?

The servies in my area that operate at the paramedic level offer a 3-6 percent pay increse for medics, that usually tends to motivate a bit.

Hey everyone.....My name is Brian Oftedal. I'm a Full time Lieutenant/Paramedic with the Oakland Fire Department (Ca) and a part time Paramedic with American Medical Response (Alameda County). I have been a Paramedic since 1998 and I am currently working on an ALS Engine Company.
I agree with Ted (Setla Film Productions). I believe that sharing information (in this field) is extremely important. Any way that you can share ideas, "close calls" and experiences is great.

I am joining this group to let others understand why the sharing of information via social media is so important.

I guess it's time to rattle some cages.

While the title of this group is Fire Dept based EMS, I propose that this is an antiquated title for the actual state of our module for providing this vital public service. When one stops and looks at the volume and types of calls in the agencies that provide both fire suppression and EMS it becomes obvious that we have become an EMS based Fire Service.

I understand that this is a position that will pull some scabs off some old sores, but it should be recognized that Fire Departments can not survive in the economic trends that have been evolving for over five years without providing EMS at some level.

Review the budgetary trends and emphasis of the mission of your departments over the past five-plus years. It is EMS related functions that have become our primary emphasis.
