Volunteer Fire/Rescue in a combination career/volunteer system.My primary operational role has been as an Emergency Medical Service provider, though I am also a qualified firefighter and fire officer. I began my EMS career as an EMT and ambulance driver, and quickly advanced to an officer position, utilizing time in grade from previous positions, and upgraded my EMT certification to a paramedic license (2001). Through my career, I have held various positions as my other time demands have allowed.As a firefighter, lieutenant, and captain, my primary roles are: - unit operation and overall supervision of single-unit emergency calls- direct patient care: assessing, generating a presumptive diagnosis, and initiating treatment both on scene and in transport- training an ongoing procession of less experienced providers through informal mentoring, formal station drills, and classroom sessions- special events liaison for emergency medical support at area eventsAs a chief officer, my primary roles were:- scene command for multi-unit responses- special events planning and command- quality assurance and quality improvement- creation and delivery of station drills and classroom sessions- promotion of EMS volunteer career pathways in the departmentOperational roles:Master FF/Paramedic Dec 2016 - presentEMS Certified Chief Officer - Assistant Chief Jan 2013 - Jan 2016 - Battalion Chief May 2006 - Jan 2008; Mar 2011 - Jan 2013; Jan 2016 - Dec 2016EMS Captain Jan 2003 - May 2006; Jan 2008 - Mar 2011EMS Lieutenant/P Oct 2001 - Jan 2003EMS Lieutenant Nov 2000 - Oct 2001Firefighter/EMT Jan 1999 - Nov 2000Administrative additional roles:Director May 04 - Jan 08

Volunteer work for various conventions* in the Mid-Atlantic area. I started as a provider (paramedic) in the first aid departments of fandom "party" conventions. I later acquired the administrative work of being the department head for First Aid; and as I advanced my skills and qualifications into nursing, I have brought that broader knowledge into the process of dealing with our more complex patients.First Aid functions as a pop-up clinic operating as a hybrid of Emergency Medical Service and outpatient care for the attendees of the events. A "typical" event starts on a Thursday evening with setup (and caring for other convention staff that are injured or have conditions aggravated during setup), going into shift work coverage responding to reported ill/injured/intoxicated attendees (and staff) either at their location or as walk-ins to the event space that we occupy. The patients are triaged into "assess and release to a sober friend," "assess and advise," "treat and release," "treat and refer to outside resources" (like an urgent care), or "treat and transfer to EMS." This routine of controlled chaos continues into Sunday afternoon, when we break down out equipment and pack it out for the next event.The events may range from small (500-3,000 attendees) to large (23,000+ attendees) and each has their own feel in terms of attendee age, activity choices, and comorbidities.*conventions:2004-2017 - Katsucon (Feb) [2018 onward, working in Emergency Management]2005-2018 - Anime Mid-Atlantic (Jun)2007-2022 - Anime USA (Oct)2012-present - Fur the 'More (Mar)2012-2018 - InterVention (Apr)2014-2019 - ReGeneration Who (Mar)2016-2018 - Potterverse (Jul)2018-present - Balticon (May)2019-present - Blerdcon (Jul)

I worked for Allied just out of college while waiting on my fiancee to complete her degree and find out where we were going to land for her career, and it turned into nearly three years.As an EMT and ambulance driver, I worked on various shifts--though mostly evening and weekend. This company provided the medical taxi style of ambulance service for physician appointments, hospital discharges, etc during normal business hours. In the evening and on weekends, their service still covered the late discharge or return from an appointment, but focused primarily on emergent or urgent calls from contracted facilities or as the contracted backup service to the local primary 911 provider.Duties included direct patient care and documentation, patient lifting and moving (with the old Ferno Model 30 and fully carried stairchairs) into and out of old row house construction, verbal handovers with hospital and nursing facility staff, safe operation in and around the City of Philadelphia, knowledge of major thoroughfares and multiple neighborhoods of the city, light maintenance of equipment, and covering any late/unfinished office work (evenings).
