Hi,

recently certified and looking for volunteer opportunities like RockMed or similar in the bay area where I can put my skills to use.

Suggestions please!

Thanks
 
If I might just add that you're skills really do not degrade as quickly as you might think. It took me a year to get hired onto an ambulance and I had no problem getting right back into the thick of things.

Unfortunately I do not live in your area so I have no specific leads for you. I did ride with a local fire department near me when I felt like I was starting to forget things (I really wasn't), you might ask FDs in the area if they'll have you for a shift.

Bay Area? San Fran bay? Bay city? James bay? Hudson Bay?
To answer your question, continuing education.
 
Thanks Achilles, I'm in the SF Bay area - can you elaborate a little more on Continuing Education and maybe provide some examples?
 
if youre ALS, take a phlebotomy class, it will keep you IV skills pretty sharp if youve got the extra cash. Plus its a great way to network because usually they have nurses teaching them so thats an in at a hospital d:
 
Help teach a local EMT class (as a Teacher's Assistant)
