Our ambulances are intensive care units and we can do inside almost anything. There is a driver in the front and, in the back, a physician, a nurse and a technician. We treat all we can treat and, if not, we take patient to the ER. We solve most of the situations in the place where we can find the patient (street, home...) What kind of medication? There is a very long list? Any in particular? For Eydawn: I asked the medical board of family physicians, and they told me that I had to repeat one or two years of my residence after passing the steps. I am a family physician, but I have worked in a ER and in an ambulance. Thank you to all Oh! I am going to be in California (maybe LA or San Diego)

I thought about working as a paramedic, because if I want to get my medical license I have to repeat part of my residence. There is no problem with the exams, but I do not want to be a resident again, and we are coming to the USA only for two or three years. In Spain, we have different kind of ambulances. In the ICU ambulances always there is a nurse, a driver, an EMT and a physician (usually family physician). I like the job and I think that this would be a good experience. Ask me whatever you want here or in my email (aniento@hotmail.com)

Thank you all. I did not know where to start. I I met you someday, I will pay you a beer (or two)

Hi! I am a spanish physician (family medicine physician). I have been working in ER and in ambulances in Spain (we do not have paramedics so, there is always a doc in the ambulance). Now, my wife is coming to the USA for two years and I am coming with her. As it is very difficult to work as a doctor here, I have thought about working as a EMT/Paramedic. Anybody can tell me if is possible? Do I need any course or examn? Thank you for your help
