Project Description

Guadalajara is Mexico’s second largest city and as a busy city, there are more emergency calls. The staff at the clinic and the paramedics on the ambulances take emergency calls throughout the day and into the evenings.

As busy, cosmopolitan cities and towns, emergency calls can vary from road traffic accidents, through to drug overdoses or even stabbings and shootings. This means that whether you are working in the clinic or out on the ambulance, you will gain experience in a wide range of trauma cases.

Those with prior experience and those training to become paramedics, can accompany the paramedics on the ambulances on emergency calls after an initial week long induction working with the staff at the emergency clinic. This gives you a week to develop your Spanish and get used to local working practices before accompanying the paramedics on call.
