EMS OFFICER: MAKING THE BIG TRANSITION

摘要

Congratulations! you have decided to accept the promotion and take that first step in becoming an EMS officer, one of the biggest moves you will make in your EMS career. Transi-tioning from a direct patient care provider to a first-line officer is difficult since your roles and responsibilities dramatically change. Instead of providing patient care, you will be directing, supervising, and evaluating it. Your scope of influence increases, and people will look to you to make decisions that will affect many more individuals than just you, your partner, and your patient.
