If you've passed your NR in the last year than you are exempt from FISDAP.

Well......Charlotte does take up most of Mecklenburg county except in the North End and its still a government agency :)

We require FISDAP or NR(written exam, not CE recert) within the last year. FISDAP can be taken onsite the day of your assessment or remotely via Proctor U in advance (there is an upfront cost with this option, reimbursed if hired). Physical Agility Test Medical Interview - 2 parts -...

Where are you in paramedic school? We (Mecklenburg EMS Agency, aka Medic) do our best to work around school schedules throughout orientation and then with your yearly schedule. Happy to talk with you about our agency, I'll send you a PM with my contact info.

MedCenter Air's ground division still only does IFT. We are the sole Agency for scene calls in CLT.

We did away with 24hr shifts in the early 2000's, our system is just too busy to safely operate 24hr shifts. 3 days per week would be the minimum shifts worked.

2 hours is definitely a long commute, if you settled down on the Charlotte side of Asheville you could cut it down to maybe 1hr 45min. Especially with our HQ moving over to the west side of Charlotte. With that said we have several employee's who commute, including a few from the western part...

SAS and Minitab, I think you'd have a hard time reaching their limits for data set sizes

Currently there isn't a pay bump for a degree; however, it is very adventitious to have when competing for promotional opportunities. Our local scope of practice is all done in house, of which you are paid for. We are a state recognized teaching and credentialing center. All of your CE is...

Completely understand that. The program starts every August currently. Once you complete your state or NR testing your upgrade to Paramedic is really simple if you go through the local program. You just take the local scope of practice testing and a few check ride shifts with an FTO. From...

Usually we do one orientation a quarter, but I will be ramping up to five a year shortly. Call volume is growing faster than I can hire and train Medics. If you are not tied down to moving next year or after paramedic school we hire EMTs and our community college's paramedic program is gear...

We regularly hire new paramedics. Its a fast paced, high expectations, high reward system. Most new paramedics are successful as we provide a ton of training support to get you up to speed. We are growing rapidly, creating more advancement opportunities than the average system. Great state...
