To Whom It May Concern,
I have ** years experience in the medical field, health and safety related roles and extensive training in the Pre-hospital emergency field. I have 10 years experience as a PRIMARY CARE Paramedic. In addition 2 years as a safety specialist and also have experience as a mobile field examiner (blood draw,12 lead ECG, urine collection and V/S) along with this additional patient training and education as a Account executive and consultant.
Along with this I have 2 years Fire experience/training working as a volunteer Fireman for the City of Ottawa and working with Fire prevention Services co-op program.
I have also worked and supervised for two years at the Department Of National Defense Medical Clinic Connaught. I performed patient triage,assessment, diagnosis and treatment
I have also completed a aero medical certification through Ornge (PCP Flight) and received PCP Flight certification through the MOHLTC.
I possess all up to date immunization, cpr, clean drivers abstract, WHMIS 2015, AODA (Accessibility Ontarians With A Disability Act). I also am certified with Canadian Blood Services Canada as a phlebotomist.

Prior I had worked as a community Services And Instructor Coordinator for Saint John Ambulance. I oversaw training, development, scheduling,compliance and public relations of 40 instructors and over 100 medical first responders.
I currently work as a Senior Onsite Medical Representative & Safety Specialist for a global organization and i am looking for new opportunities to grow and improve.
In addition to treating patients and responding to Emergencies, a large part of my role is accident prevention and education. I also aid and guide workers through WSIB claims and work related injury treatment and prevention.Also I educate, instruct and aid employees during this difficult time to ensure a safe and fluid return to work. This is accomplished by working with Physicians (through Form8/FAF) to provide a care plan that matches current treatment and the associates current abilities.
Facing challenging responsibilities with creative dynamism centered on innovation and growth is my goal. I would like to discuss the ways in which I can contribute my experience and energy to become a part of your team.
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience as I am looking to expand my career and transition into a public service role more in tuned to my current career path and goals.
