🚑 Congratulations to Our Newest Paramedics!
Wilson County EMA is proud to congratulate Wyatt Shultz and Atticus Robinson on earning their Paramedic licenses!
Becoming a paramedic takes an incredible amount of work. In roughly one year, these providers completed approximately 1,200 hours of classroom education and more than 600 hours of clinical and field training. Over 1,800 hours of medical education packed into a single year.
And earning the license is only the beginning.
Wilson County EMA operates under aggressive, progressive medical protocols that allow our paramedics to bring advanced emergency care directly to the patient. Our medics perform rapid sequence intubation (RSI), surgical airways, finger thoracostomy, advanced cardiac electrical therapies, and administer a wide range of critical medications—care that in many places may not begin until the patient reaches an emergency department.
Because of that responsibility, every new WEMA paramedic completes an additional 3–5 shifts with a Paramedic Field Training Officer before functioning independently, ensuring they can safely and confidently deliver the level of care our community expects when someone calls 911.
We at Wilson County EMA are extremely appreciative of the time, sacrifice, and dedication these providers have shown in choosing to further their education and continue serving their community at the paramedic level. Their commitment strengthens our department and, most importantly, the level of care we are able to provide to the citizens and visitors of Wilson County.
Congratulations Wyatt, and Atticus! 🚑
