NYC Paramedic Brian Levinsky, CCEMT-P writes:

“I am pursuing a BS in Health Administration degree at St. Joseph’s College New York. As part of a research seminar course I am conducting a survey of EMS providers’ relationships with work. This survey is open to all EMS providers who work and/or volunteer in the United States of America. The survey close date is June 25, 2010.”

Please join me and take a few minutes and answer the survey questions.

I commend Brian for pursuing a four year college degree while working as a paramedic. I am looking forward to the results of his research project and hopeful he will share them in a guest post for Everyday EMS Tips.
