medic & EC here, I prefer a BLS provider that started in IFT. I'm also assuming this is aimed at BLS because IFT critical care is no joke

i wouldn’t be half the provider i am for 911 without ift experience. the way i speak to patients are night and day. i now have the ability to have somebody laugh and smile while dealing with their serious medical emergencies and they are able to remain calm and collected which results in better vitals for me

EMS should not be a for profit system, so, always start 9-1-1 and never leave.

ift medic here quitting at my current service. my poorly maintained ambulance TURNED OFF ON ME AT 70 MPH like the engine was like peace so no gas and brakes were also going on that rig. switched into a new one only to find a nail in the tire, and switched again to find our ambulance needing fuel and onboard 02

Agreed, it also gives you a step above someone going zero to hero by having a understanding of the hospital systems and a rapport with the staff. As well as giving you a place to practice pt assessments and skills
