Summary

Dear Life Force,

I am writing this to express my strong interest in the flight paramedic position at Life Force 5. Over the last 4 years as a paramedic at various services pre-hospital and in the emergency department, I have always had a high opinion and admired the level of professionalism and care that Life Force provides.

I am eager to bring my expertise in emergency medical care and passion for continuing my education to provide the best medical care possible to my patients.

Being able to attend the Life Force CCP course has been an incredible experience that has motivated me to hone and master critical care skills.

I am proficient in Advanced Cardiac Life Support, BLS, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, PHTLS, Ultrasound-guided IVs, and communication skills. These certifications and skills are complemented by my personal strengths which include a cheerful yet composed demeanor, discipline, robust problem-solving capabilities, and leadership. All of which are crucial during high-pressure medical emergencies.

Thank you for considering this application. I am looking forward to the opportunity to further discuss how I can contribute to the world-class care that Life Force provides to the community.
