This episode is the beginning of a series of shows focused on EMS firsts.

By sharing we can help recognize our own struggles and pass on the lessons to those listening.

EMS Shortage Or Short On Pay?
Posted on November 21, 2019 Written by Leave a Comment
After seeing several articles and social media discussions on the claims about EMS provider shortage. Jim and Josh jump on and ask the question “Is it truly a shortage of providers?” or maybe the continued low pay of EMS professionals is forcing qualified professionals who love the job to go into other fields with higher pay.
You can promote higher education as the solution till you’re blue in the face but no one is waiting around for agencies to pay higher for college degrees when that degree can pay the bills now someplace else.
Take a listen as they are also joined by a caller during the show.
