\n

At first, Dr. Jared Ross, a physician specializing in emergency medicine, was a guest lecturer in HFC EMS Program Director Shannon Bruley\u2019s classes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not long after, he became one of her students.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI spoke with Shannon about wanting to complete a paramedic degree. I\u2019d done my EMT (emergency medical technician) basics at the University of California Los Angeles. I\u2019ve been a certified EMT in California, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Washington, D.C. While volunteering at a fire department in Pittsburgh, I started paramedic school, but never completed it,\u201d explained Ross, of St. Louis, MO.<\/span><\/p>\n

So Ross enrolled in HFC\u2019s Paramedic program and finished his certificate in June 2018. He passed the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians\u2013Paramedic (NREMT-P) exam at the end the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in EMS,\u201d he said. \u201cI felt that being a physician would allow me to further the field of emergency medicine and emergency medical services (pre-hospital emergency medicine), a board-certified sub-specialty of emergency medicine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

At Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Ross earned his bachelor\u2019s degree in chemistry and biomedical engineering in 2008 while working for Eastern Area Prehospital Services and Carnegie Mellon EMS. Afterwards, he spent two years in Washington, D.C., working for the American <\/span>
\nRed Cross.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2014, he graduated from medical school at A.T. Still University in Mesa, AZ. He completed his internship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Mercy Hospital and his residency at Ascension St. John Hospital and Medical Center in Detroit, which brought him to HFC.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFourteen years later, I finally finished,\u201d said Ross. \u201cI always wanted to finish what I started. Even though fellow doctors and paramedics would ask, \u2018Why are doing this? You\u2019re already a physician,\u2019 I wanted to show my dedication to EMS as a profession and to finish something that was near and dear to my heart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, he is completing a fellowship in emergency medical services at Washington University in St. Louis and is expected to graduate this June.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a fellow, I spend 12 hours a week in the ER and about 24 hours a week in the field, primarily working with EMS personnel. I even have a take-home emergency response vehicle. I love going out to North St. Louis County and running calls with the crews up there,\u201d he said. \u201cHaving seen both sides of the equation \u2014 pre-hospital and in-hospital \u2014 I try to focus on helping students bridge that gap. I\u2019m just as comfortable interacting with EMTs as I am with ER staff prior to patient arrival and during patient hand-off. I have a better understanding of the pre-hospital and in-hospital management and the trajectory of patient care.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
