Hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson discuss a question from a reader about the career paths for paramedics.

They discuss options for tactical paramedics, flight paramedics, community paramedicine, industrial safety EMS, event medicine, ER paramedics and more.

“I think before anyone makes a decision to specialize … I think you should get experience on the street first,” Grayson said.

Cebollero also said community paramedicine is a growing career path that will expand throughout EMS, and paramedic schools should begin offering specializations to students.
