As a Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician-Basic, jobs focus on remote area medicine are few and far between. Remote Medical International is currently hiring certified WEMTs for projects within the continental United States which provides a unique opportunity to use your unique training and skill-set.

Remote Medical International provides Medical Support Services to clients operating around the world in a variety of industries. You will be working with a crack team of experienced professionals, supported by some of the best physicians in the industry.

That said, the job is hard. You will be responding to both non-emergent and emergent calls in remote areas where external assistance may be an hour or more away. You could be living in a hotel, driving a mobile treatment center on one assignment and providing medical services to a film crew on the next, from a tent high in the mountains. We promise that your medical skills and problem-solving ability will be tested daily; it is precisely this challenge that creates the family-atmosphere here at RMI as well as the pride you will have in your position and abilities.

WEMT positions in the Medical Support Group are very limited, don’t let this opportunity pass you by. If you are a professional, intelligent team-player with a strong work-ethic and a keen interest in constant improvement and learning, this is the job for you.

If you are interested in this position, please submit a two-page letter stating why you are the best candidate for the job by 1800hrs on 20 July, 2010 to employment@remotemedical.com. Positions start immediately.

Over the past week, every operational group here has been mobilizing to support relief efforts in Haiti.  We have received many phone calls and resume submissions and appreciate the willingness of our students and clients to deploy there.

If you are interested in assisting/employment opportunities, we deploy our own staff first to these areas and accept additional emergency hires based on remote area medical/rescue experience and training. If you are a medical provider, we are currently accepting resumes for Paramedics with aero-medical experience, helicopter rescue and/or SOF 18D qualification, Mid-Level Primary Care Providers and Emergency Physicians.

Please send requests and resumes to employment@remotemedical.com.

We do no accept donations for the relief effort except for employee and medical provider time in certain cases. If you are considering making a donation to support efforts in Haiti, please consider Partners in Health.Our thoughts lie with the people of Haiti and we vow to work as hard as we can to support rescue and recovery efforts there.
