CALL TAKERS & DISPATCHERS

Dispatchers manage ambulance responses to ensure the right care arrives on scene.
Patient Transfer Coordinators plan transfers between hospital & medical facilities.

The world of paramedicine is so different from a nurse and a doctor, people who work in facility, because we are actually going into people’s homes.
