Hello! I was wondering if anyone on this forum would be able to help me out : ). I am from Australia and am interested in training as an EMT in the US and would further like to work as an EMT for 6 months. However, I’m finding it difficult to determine what visa this is possible on/if it is possible. I understand that I would probably need a student visa for the training, it is the work visa that I am struggling to understand. Any information would be incredibly helpful! Thank you!

I am interested in what the average % paid to third party billing companies for EMS billing. We are in a rural area of Virginia. 10% seems high.

Holy Post resurrection batman - But this paper is one I found. https://cms.galenos.com.tr/Uploads/Article_22451/EAJEM-6-7-En.pdf A 10 minute search of Google produced no other results of battery acid injection. I think this thread should be closed.

Well, if the person that asked is like me, I’m watching a crime show where the person was killed by injecting battery acid-among other things. I’m not planning on doing it either, FYI

Hi All, I’m a paramedic from the UK and I have recently started a YouTube channel based around EMS medical education. Although it’s based mainly around prehospital care, it’s available for all healthcare staff of any grade. It is my aim to provide easy accessible education to medical staff. The videos I provide is good for generating clinical discussions, including case study’s. There are videos that are associated with subjects including bioscience, pharmacology and medical assessments, exam preparation and revision. Although I have not long started posting these videos on my channel, I aim to post 2-3 times a week and I am also happy to come up with posts about any subjects people have an interest or need more information on. It is my hope that i can get subscribers from individuals who can share different experiences and help make the channel a place where others can learn in a safe effective environment with it becoming an additional network of support. Here is the link to my channel: https://youtube.com/@EMS_Carl0304?si=MRyRCjDwyoZwIlC2 I hope to see you there and look forward to collaborating with you 👍

Hey guys, as part of my college project for paramedics, I'm conducting a questionnaire to gather insights into the impact of employment benefits on your daily life and overall job satisfaction. Your perspective is important and will help me better understand the needs and preferences of this profession. If you have a minute, I'd really appreciate you filling out my questionnaire! All feedback is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks! Here is the link to my google form https://forms.gle/X63fvBQdX8hXoaAs7

Wow. Almost a whole year, and nothing. Is anyone even around?

Spelling in my opinion gives the impression of what kind of care was provided, your competency in your EMT skills and treatment provided. Was it thorough or just enough to get it done. Being professional and caring about your report, shows what kind of EMT you really are!

Just joined the group and looking forward to learning and networking with you all. I'm a new EMT-B in Orlando.

hi, I'm an EMT student and I'm starting my patient contacts. On my patient contact forms there is a line that is listed as subjective assessment. What is that and what are some examples of what i should put there because I'm not really sure. Would I put something like: patient complains of chest pain that started about an hour ago that radiates to their jaw. Or is that line for something completely different. Thanks.
