In order to be hired as a paramedic, you must possess a few important abilities. First and foremost, you must be able to communicate and interact effectively and appropriately with patients and others. You will deal with many patients who are disoriented and you must be able to obtain important information from them. At the same time, you’ll have to assess patients using relevant theory and practices, and establish patients’ treatment and transport priorities based on assessment finding. Another important skill is the ability to implement preventive and therapeutic patient management strategies to maintain and promote patients’ well-being as well as integrate and perform delegated controlled medical acts in a simulated, clinical and field setting. Lastly, you’ll have ensure the operational safety and preparedness of an ambulance and its equipment, and operate an ambulance-type vehicle. All of these skills can be learned through paramedic training at Centennial College’s Paramedic Program.
