UK HealthCare
Lexington, KY
The paramedic’s primary role is ambulance-based transport, with time in the UK Chandler and Good Samaritan emergency departments as a secondary assignment. The majority of scheduled hours are spent on UK ambulances conducting long- and short-distance interfacility transports, including specialty transports involving ventilators, IV pumps, and other advanced equipment. A small portion of the role involves responding to emergency calls on the UK medical campus. Ambulance duties also include daily operational responsibilities such as equipment checks and vehicle readiness. When not assigned to transport, the paramedic supplements the nursing role in the emergency department, working within the Kentucky scope of practice to administer medications, document care, monitor patients, and perform other patient care tasks.
