What role do Paramedics provide to the rest of the medical community?
Paramedics are the liaisons between the actual emergency event and the rest of the healthcare continuum. They can relay critical information from the scene to Emergency Room physicians. This information can play an important roll in predicting injuries and guiding treatment of patients. Paramedics are also helping the rest of the pre-hospital community through education and guidance. With their higher level of care and training, Paramedics have been regular instructors for Back Country Ski Patrols, Mountain Ski Patrols, Law Enforcement, Community interest groups, and other regional EMS provider agencies.
