Miriam Schmidt
Cottonwood Heights,UT
Summary
I am a committed Paramedic with 7+ years of experience in emergency medicine including critical care transports, advanced cardiac life support transports, basic life support transports, interfacility transports, prehospital emergencies (911 in both city and rural county EMS), communications center call-taking/dispatching, and paramedic district supervisor over 6 counties in South Texas.
My family has relocated to Utah from Texas, and I have shifted my focus from pre-hospital emergency medicine to in-hospital medicine since joining the University of Utah as a Paramedic in August of 2023. My passion in healthcare stems in my ability to adapt and learn in any environment and genuinely care for my patients and their families. I believe I would be an excellent addition to your team and would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what opportunities you have to offer.
