For those that don't already know I am now an NREMT-P and also a Maryland EMT-P. I got my new card in the mail yesterday from MIEMSS. As a Paramedic there are some additional procedures and medications that can be performed and administered without first consulting the receiving hospital. The role is more autonomous and better recognized than Cardiac Rescue Technician, my previous license in the state of Maryland.
On this coming Monday I will be participating in a Mass Casualty Drill with the Abingdon Fire Company. I hope to be able to have a medical command role so that I can get the experience in such a position. We rarely use the role in our volunteer system, but on occasion there is a need for additional coordination of medical related tasks including triage, treatment and transport.
Take care and be safe.
