About Me
I have been involved in Emergency Medical Services since 1994. I started in EMS through volunteer fire service in my home town. In 1994, our local VFD developed a Medical First Responder system. I became a State of Louisiana certified First Responder that year. This stoked my already strong interest in EMS. Eventually, I re-enrolled into college at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now University of Louisiana at Lafayette) studying Emegency Health Science. I became a Nationally Registered EMT-Basic in January 1996, thus beginning my career with Acadian Ambulance & AirMed Services, Inc. in March of that year. I started Paramedic school in October 1996, working as a full-time EMT-Basic while attending Paramedic school. I received my National Registry EMT - Paramedic certification 20 June 1998. I have worked full-time as an ambulance Paramedic, EMS instructor, Field Supervisor, Field Training Officer and now serve as Education Coordinator for Safety Management Systems (subsidiary of Acadian Ambulance Service).

Looks like I got the FD to sponsor my registration, now Im looking into lodging.
I couldnt tell if registration included lodging and I dont think the FD can afford that too. One way or another I will be in town for it.

Hello Jason. I am a medic from Shirley, NY and I collect patches. I was wondering if you were interested in swapping patches with me. Let me know. Take care and be safe.
