EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECH - B

About the Role

This position serves as a vital support pillar within the MDC Medical department, bridging the gap between clinical staff and patient care needs. You will work alongside nurses and physicians to ensure a safe, clean, and efficient environment for patients across the entire lifespan, from neonates to geriatric adults. The role is designed for individuals who thrive in dynamic, high-acuity settings and are committed to upholding the highest standards of patient safety and dignity.

In this capacity, you will assist in complicated treatment procedures and routine care, acting as an extension of the nursing team. A key aspect of the role involves proactive patient safety; you are expected to identify clinical situations beyond your scope, report potential risks, and encourage patients to actively participate in their own care. Whether managing observation unit patients, maintaining equipment, or handling administrative support tasks, your contributions directly impact the quality of the care environment.

Additionally, shift differentials are applied to encourage coverage during varied hours: 17% for weekday nights, 26% for weekend nights, and 15% for weekend days.
