Hi Jimmyjam

First well done on completing your courses. Now the bad news, from what I can gather most companies supplying remote medics will look for you to have 3 years post registration experience as an RGN, HPC registered paramedic etc as well as having ACLS and PHTLS certification.

Good luck in yours search but I fear you may be under qualified.

Get clinical experience...join some kind of volunteer service, the TA, Red Cross, whatever will let you get hands on patients.

PM me if you need more specific guidance internationally
 
Jimmy Jam,

as the Doc says, its all about getting real world clinical skills hands on and bags of patient contact with a broad range of patient groups, from paeds and geriatrics, to really sick people.... the experience will set you apart.

HOWEVER, any negative´s you have heard about AREMT qualifications are rubbish.

Employers such a large security companies, US Government and Hydrocarbon sector companies are recruiting AREMT EMT-Paramedics for Tier 2 medic roles (I know at least 3 of the big players in Southern Iraq who are doing so), the oil companies MDs are accepting this qual and the US DoD contracts are accepting AREMT EMT-B for their shooter positions (which stipulate they must all be EMTs; Iraq and Afghanistan).

I´ve been there, trained AREMT Bs and Ps and be deployed alongside them by these companies.

Anyone that tells you different is wrong. I also know AREMT medics who are working for oil companies and EMS services in Latin America, Africa, SE Asia and Saudi.

The fact is the course follows the US NAtional Registry syllabus and includes clinical time. Providing you can produce your syllabus for any Medical Director and your portfolio of evidence of your clinical practice (and reflection, CPD etc) then you´re onto a winner.

PM me and I´ll help where i can.

We have just finished a combined EMT and Wilderness EMT course in Guatemala (SOS) where delegates worked at a primary care clinic and then did a weeks worth of ambulance attachments on the streets of Guatemala delaing with gunshot wounds, bradycardia, seizures, head injuries, RTCs, stab wounds, vomitting blood, stroke, cardiac arrest etc etc across a diverse patient group. Amazing experience and all of the lads have gone back to 6 different countries in the CP and Maritime sectors (and moutaineering) to work as an EMT within their teams. Happy to provide student contact details to varify this direct.

We run clinical attachments for suitably qualified First Responders, EMT-Bs, EMT-Paramedics etc to come and work on the streets of Guatemala (at the station as seen on the BBC Documentary ´The Toughest Place to be a paramedic´) within their scope of practice.

Anyway, give me shout if i can help with anything.

regards,

M4MED
