Dispatch Health, Ready Responders, and others

[MMiz]

I looks like DispatchHealth is starting to hire paramedics in my area.

Has anyone worked for them or similar company?

Dispatch Health only hires EMTs in our area and uses them in a medical assistant type role. They do vitals and IV/blood draws for the most part and also scribe for the provider. Note that EMTs already start IVs in Colorado so this isn’t too wild.

I did PRN with them for about 8 months in Denver. It's a decent gig, especially for a newer EMT. Would definitely reccomend over an IFT gig. You're partnered with a PA or NP on 10 hour shifts. You definitely get to see a wide variety of patients, sick and not sick. Good chance to really practice with your blood pressures, vitals and paying attention to the provider's assessment.
