Ambulance
Dispatcher
Duties and
Responsibilities: A
dispatch function of sorts has always been a feature of both emergency medical
service and its predecessor, ambulance service. The information processing, if only to identify the
problem and the location of the patient, has always been a logical part of the
process of call completion. Prior to the professionalization of emergency medical
services, this
step in the process was often informal; the caller would simply call the local
ambulance service, the telephone call would be answered (in many cases by the ambulance attendant who would be responding to the call), the location and
problem information would be gathered, and an ambulance assigned to complete
the detail. The ambulance would then complete the call, return to the station,
and wait for the next telephone call.
Salary: $22,533 - $51,701
Education: At least a high school education
Reflection: Do you think you
would like to be one? Why? Why not?
No I wouldn’t
like to be one because I don’t like to drive.
