EMS Faculty /Field Coordinator - Coos Bay, OR 97420 - Indeed.com Southwestern Oregon Community College

This position is designed to teach several 100 level EMS classes and to have the responsibility of clinical coordinator. The clinical coordinator duties are approx 1/3 of the workload. These responsibilities include, but are not limited to, being the liason between SOCC and several hospitals and EMS agencies and monitoring student documentation requirements in alignment with COAEMSP/CAAHEP and state accreditation practices.

Do we really need degrees in EMS? Why earning an advanced degree changed my mind

Paramedicine is a broad career field and very frequently we forget just how many opportunities there are for paramedics. This is a contract position for paramedics to provide healthcare for astronauts, as an example. Pretty neat 🙂.

Here is the first accelerated EMT cohort in action. This picture shows our students in the middle of the best lab of the year. You can see the students surrounding a heart and a pair of pig lungs that are connected to our ventilator. This gives them a valuable perspective of what patient anatomy looks like during critical resuscitation attempts. They also had a pair of deer lungs donated to them from a hunter so that they could see what damaged lungs look like in comparison to whole lungs. 🫁🫁🫁

While we are sharing stories about the new Fire Science and EMT-B lab let's also talk about this!

Yesterday Southwestern's EMS department was lucky enough to have a large group of high school students come visit all the way from Klamath Falls. Here are some action shots of our EMS staff putting on a demonstration of the basics of advanced cardiac life support.

As usual, visitors come for the show but stay to push buttons in the ambulance 🚑 😁.
