Jonathan Robarge Promoted to Paramedic Preceptor!

A few words from Jonathan:

I’ve been working at ASM for about 3 years now. During my time here I’ve seen and admired the quality of paramedics and the higher caliber we hold our own too. I’ve always been interested in educating and helping be part of the group to make such strong, independent providers. I’m excited to begin this process of preceptor and helping our new paramedics become confident and reach their full potential.

ASM’s Newest Preceptor

Having been a member of the training cadre here at the Ambulance Service of Manchester for a number of years I’ve had the opportunity to further educate many of my peers throughout different stages of their careers. However, with this new opportunity I am thrilled to have the honor and privilege to mold newly licensed paramedics into competent and professional advanced level critical care pre-hospital providers. I look forward not only to upholding the expectations and reputation the precepting program here at the Ambulance Service of Manchester has maintained over the years, but also to strive to produce some of the best paramedics the Ambulance Service of Manchester and the State of Connecticut has ever seen.
