Ambulance Dispatcher

             Ambulance Dispatcher

An Emergency medical ambulance dispatcher is a professional telecommunicate, tasked with the gathering of information related to medical emergencies, the provision of assistance and instructions by voice, prior to the arrival of Emergency Medical Services, and the dispatching and support of EMS resources.

Duties and Responsibilities: In most modern EMS systems, the Emergency Medical Dispatcher will fill a number of critical functions. The first of these is the identification of basic call information, including the location and telephone number of the caller, the location of the patient, the general nature of the problem, and any special circumstances. In most EMS systems, the telephone remains almost a singular point of access for those needing assistance.

 Salary: Ambulance Dispatchers make around $37,460 per year.

Education: Most dispatchers only have a high school diploma or even a GED.

 I would not like to be an Ambulance Dispatcher because I am not the best with computers and being busy.
