Justin P replied to Tim Montague's discussion Additional Courses for Paramedics?"Tim, my best recommendation is to not get too caught up in taking every class out there. I would agree with Geri that GEMS is a good class to take, as geriatrics consume a great deal of EMS work; even better why don't you become a GEMS…"
