Does anyone work in or have experience with the Calgary EMS under AHS? What is the system like? Is ALS/BLS divided, or is there an EMT & a medic on every rig? Any comments?
Also, a bit of controversy: Better or worse under AHS?
All I can say is good luck getting on you'll need it
It's also all ALS
When I did my practicum there a lot of people seemed to hate AHS so I think it is worse now but who knows
I've read that they just prefer people with experience, which is understandable. Every new grad wants to get on with a metro system, so there's a lot of competition.
I'm planning on doing a chunk of volunteer work before my EMT grad, and even afterwards if needed. I also think I may get BLS instructor certification. Teach CPR classes on the weekend and strengthen the resume at the same time.
