I've already run a search for this, but was unable to find anything.
As I understand, FDNY*EMS seems to subcontract some areas of the city to other hospital-based and private ambulance services.
I plan on applying to medical school at some point in the near future, and will likely be applying to several out of state schools, including those in the NYC area. So, I'm wondering if it's possible to work for one of the hospital-based services on a part-time basis. I checked with FDNY, but they only offer full-time employment, and I'm absolutely finished with private services (and yes I realize that the hospital-based ones are technically "private").
So, what's the scheduling like? Is the pay at least decent? I know NYC medics are some of the most underpaid in the country, but from what I understand the hospital-based services tend to offer better wages. I'm really just looking for something I'd be able to do on a very part-time basis during med school (at least during the more manageable phases of it).
Thanks to all for their replies.
