Paramedic Cover Letter

A paramedic resume cover letter is written by a medical professional; working to provide emergency medical care to people outside of hospital. They work in the field catering to the emergency requirements like trauma care, anesthesia, oxygen, providing Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and quick lift up from the accident site to the hospital. Their work is aimed at stabilizing the patient while still on the way to hospital. While doing this, they have to follow some strict guidelines and protocols.

Various kinds of paramedics are:

• EMT-B (basic): they provide the patient with basic treatment like administering injections, putting them on oxygen supply, CPR. They are not allowed to do any intravenous treatments on the patients
• EMT-Intermediate: they are allowed to perform basic intravenous procedures like putting IVs, drips and introducing artificial airways passage to the respiratory system.
• EMT-Paramedics (EMT-P): They are the most experienced paramedics with clearance to put the patients on ventilators, if and when necessary.

But the scope of these responsibilities varies from state to state. They have to undergo a first responder training to get this job. This training is certified by the American Red Cross. Also there is a fixed criteria to become a certified paramedic.

Subject- Application for the post of Paramedic

Dear Dr. James,

I recently saw your advertisement for an available job post of night-shift paramedic at your hospital. This ad was posted on www.medicinetoday.com dated 21st Nov, '13. I would like to apply for the same.

My previous job was with Nelson Hospital where I was an intermediate paramedic. It was a 9 hour night shift and included covering the downtown part of the city. I have handled work like giving intravenous lines, drips and Cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the patients. Our success rate with bringing in the patients within safe time was 96%. I worked there for 2 years. Before this I was working as a first responder with J.J. Hospital's paramedic team providing first aid service to the accident victims and also helping with child births.

I am a certified paramedic from National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. In addition to this I have completed my high school from Red Rock University and have undergone extensive training under the American Red Cross society's paramedic training program.

I feel I am 100% up for this job and can do justice to my duties as I am already accustomed to night shifts and have an impressive track record behind me with high success rate. I am attaching my resume here and feel confident of getting interview call from you.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,
