Program Director
August 2015 - September 2019 • Hurlburt Field, FL
What I liked
Working with students-I was the medical program director for a military training squadron. I scheduled paramedics to go out into the field with the students, and was able to assist with many events. (I am also an EMT). I also Organized many mass casualty events that involved multiple organizations in the area.
What I wish was different
Not much. More recognition would be nice. It was a great squadron to work for and all my teammates were wonderful.
Advice
Don't sweat the small stuff. If there are things that you can't control, don't let yourself get worked up over it. Don't be afraid to speak up if you see something that is wrong. Help people where you can, and direct them to others if it's something you can't help them with.
