Started as an EMT and went through Paramedic school. I obtained my Paramedic license in 2015 and eventually completed the Critical Care program that Acadian Ambulance offers in June of 2016. I worked on a Critical Care truck that required frequent use of ventilators and IV infusion pumps. This also required a broader range of pharmacological familiarity.
