Today I picked up a day shift. Our county requires EMT-Paramedic/EMT-Paramedic (Medic/Medic) to be an ALS unit. All the other ones in Michigan require Medic/BLS to be ALS. What's required in your area?
I'm all for Medic/Medic. I think it allows a basic to get ALS experiece before they take the next step, and I don't think Medic/Basic really leads to a lower level of care. I actually know Medics who would rather work a trauma with an EMT-Basic, they do the ALS stuff, and we take care of BLS.
Any thoughts?
