Hey everyone, I am finishing up medic school and am wanting to jump into the workforce. I live in oneof the beach communities in LA Co and I’m looking at medic positions around. I want to work at a place that allows for me to best grow as a brand new medic but I’m not trying to spend all of my paychecks on commuting back and forth. I’m aware LA Co/OC EMS is handled almost exclusively by the FF/PMs. I have been looking at possibly Riverside Co, San Bernardino Co and Oxnard/Ventura Co as potential places. The few questions I have are this. Who is generally in charge of patient care and the direction taken for it, like do the FF/PMs call the shots or can the private ambulance medics get to have a say in patient care? What’s the call volume like (I would like to get some good experience under my belt wherever I work). As a new guy, what is the scheduling like (24s or stuck with whatever they have available). I know very little about the private ambulance Companies in the areas mentioned and would like to hear what you all have to say about them as well.
thanks y’all
