“Partners for Life” is more than a slogan at MedFlight.  It takes shape in the special skills we use every day to do our jobs well.  It’s teamwork, knowing that lives depend on how well we do our jobs together.  And it’s simple decency, we understand that our clinical skills go a long way toward caring for our patients, but a kind word and compassion can go even further.

Are you one of us? We hope so. Thank you for wanting to be part of our team.

Are you capable?

Are you committed?

Are you compassionate?

Are you one of us?

Our unique field of work attracts a special kind of talent.  You must have emergency medical and/or critical care experience, that’s a given.  But you also must be able to think on your feet and be confident in the decisions you make.  Are you able to quickly assess an emergency situation and work with others to solve problems as they arise?  The level of maturity required here cannot be stressed enough.

Regarding specific experience and training, the following is what we are looking for:

Paramedic:  Three years active experience as EMT-P, ACLS and BLS certifications required. BTLS and PALS or PEPP required within six months of hire.  NRP required within one year of hire. Special Topics Instructor within 30 days of hire.  Critical care experience preferred.  A driving record that is acceptable to our insurance carrier.

RN:  Three years verifiable adult critical care experience in an acute tertiary care center and/or ER experience; Swan/A- Line/IABP/Ventilator exp; ACLS and BLS certifications required.  Must complete PALS or PEPP and BTLS within six months of hire.  Must complete NRP and EMT-B course within one year of hire. Special Topics Instructor within 30 days of hire.

Communications Specialist:  Multi-task oriented with experience in the health care field, preferably in an area of communications.  Must possess excellent communications skills both written and verbal.  Computer literacy is a significant plus.  EMT certification and familiarity with medical terminology is preferred.

In the words of one of our MedFlight partners, “We’re part of a team that all works together to save a life.”  Simply stated and very true.  A commitment to the patients entrusted to our care is rooted in our commitment to one another as a team.  We’re a close-knit bunch: we understand one another’s capabilities and know we can count on each other in any situation.  We are called on to do extraordinary things every day and we’re fully aware that the team is what makes it happen.

Are you compassionate?  Maybe that’s not a question you are asked very often, but at MedFlight we believe compassion is a fundamental value of people who provide the best medical care.  You have a sincere desire to help others but you also have an instinct for saying and doing the right things when a crisis is at hand.

Whether you are assigned to one of our Mobile Intensive Care Units (MICUs) or our Helicopters you should know that the same standard of performance applies. The people who are happiest here are competent in their profession, confident in the services they provide, and are genuine about the people they care for.
