What is a Parkmedic?
Parkmedics are park rangers with specialty medical training. Their training
is similar to an EMT-Intermediate, but with an expanded pharmacological
and
procedural scope of practice. Parkmedics in Sequoia and King’s Canyon
National Park provide EMS services under protocols written, reviewed and
revised by Parkmedic residents. Parkmedics call for medical direction from the
field to
the UMC emergency department, where trained residents provide advice and
consultation via radio.
