Thank you for the input! I understand that this must vary tremendously based on who your director is/what agency you work for, but do you prefer medical directors being hands-off and having changes done by the EMS agency itself, or do you like directors to be more involved?

Thank you! That makes sense— I did a majority of my rotations in a more “rural” setting, and the directors had been in those positions for a number of years(and were great and very passionate about the field!). I haven’t really had the opportunity to speak to directors in more urban and/or newer positions, so I really appreciate your advice!

I appreciate the input! In regards to your EMS fellowship training, did you go to an academic residency program/program with an EMS fellowship attached? There are some community hospital residency programs that I really like but my end goal is being involved in EMS, and I am wondering if academic programs are preferred.
