CCT Medics in Orange County

[iftmedic]

Hello, has anybody heard of Orange county ems allowing private medics in OC, Ive heard some rumors about this. I also heard it would require additional training and possibly like ICU clinicals as well as part of course. I guess it sound kinda like what flight medics undergo. Any info would greatly be appreciated.

They're trying to introduce IFT medics again for patients that just need a monitor and maybe a basic infusion during transport. It's not going to be anything complicated at this point or something that will displace RN CCTs yet. When I get home I'll try to find the link on the OCEMS website for you.

Cool, thanks a guy i know when i was doing my cpr recert had an OC curriculum or something of that nature but there was other medics me that distracted me and i did not get a chance to really evaluate it. Also i heard several private companies want to actually be able to teach the class or update/ expanded scope i think is what they called it. The guy also stated that it might involve more pay for Paramedics. Thanks alot for your info though.
