I am a paramedic with around 8 years experience (3+ in 911 settings). I am accepting a travel paramedic position with Acadian Ambulance (Austin/Central Texas Region)
I am coming from out of state and know very little about the EMS system in Central TX. Can anyone shed light on how Acadian does things in the greater Austin area? I have found very little information posted recently about how Acadian operates aside from their newly won Pflugerville contract and existing 911 operations in Bastrop. What is the call volume like? Is there a good mix of IFT/911? Are Acadian the only ALS providers in their 911 service areas? What kind of additional medical resources are in the area? So many questions...
By the amount of money their offering, seems like this area may be struggling to find qualified medics (as many companies are).
Hope some TX medics can weigh in...
Thanks
