Ems Paramedic

Can you explain the differences between paramedic, EMT, and EMS?
Paramedics are more trained than EMT’s, or are they the same thing?
i agree to the previous answer (EMT and EMS)
EMT a.k.a. ambulance driver, they do know CPR
Paramedics are the one who response on 9-1-1, they can give medications and response using advance cardiac life support independently (firemen are all paramedics now)
EMS is the whole system, including people and everything that are involve in the life saving process
Helicopter pilots who choose EMS (Emergency Medical Services) flying as a career have a very challenging and rewarding path ahead of them. EMS pilots perform a number of functions most notably responding to life threatening emergencies but they also provide other services such as non-emergency medical transport.
There are numerous ways that EMS programs are structured. They can be government funded. In this case the EMS program is supported by government funds. These types of programs typically exist in large metropolitan areas. There are stand-alone programs where the hospital owns the helicopters and directly hires the pilots. There’s also the contractor/vendor program where an independent company provides the helicopters and pilots, which are used for the EMS service.
Hiring minimums for an EMS operation can vary but generally companies look for at least 2000hrs HELO, 1500 hrs PIC as well as commercial and instrument ratings. EMS pilots fly a variety of helicopters but for the most part they’re light single engine birds and most companies fly single pilot VFR.
The salaries also vary widely especially by geographical location. As you can imagine programs in large cities pay more than programs in smaller areas. Average staring pay is about $45,000 with pay rates maxing out at about $85,000 yearly. As a group EMS pilot probably fly the least of all professional helicopter pilots. It’s not uncommon for some pilots to only fly 200 hours per year.
Work conditions also vary by operator and type of program. Some programs keep the helicopter at the hospital and give the crews a “ready room” with a bunk and other basic amenities. Other operators keep the helicopter at a nearby airport and crews have a furnished trailer for the crew.
Work schedules also vary. Shifts can be from 8 to 12 hrs long with 12 hrs being typical. Operators usually schedule pilots a string of days on followed by a string of days off such as 7 on and 7 off or 5 on and 5 off.
EMS flying offers pilots opportunities to help others. This makes EMS flying very rewarding.
