I had the pleasure of precepting with Mike Bouley, someone I consider not only a phenomenal medic, but a friend. We\u2019ve had a lot highs and lows for these past 8 weeks, and I\u2019ve certainly made my fair share of mistakes in that time. That being said, I wouldn\u2019t have wanted to learn from anyone else. I can confidently say my future successes as an ALS provider will largely be due to his guidance and wisdom. I look forward to working side by side with him and all of Aetna\u2019s exceptional paramedics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> As with all precepting phases at Aetna, Cole\u2019s final approval came from Hartford Hospital\u00a0after shadowing him\u00a0and his preceptor in the field as they responded to emergency calls. On behalf of the Aetna Family, we would like to wish Cole the best of luck and say we are very proud to have such skilled professionals on staff. <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HARTFORD\u00a0\u2013 As of June 12th, 2019, Cole Ashker has been cleared by Hartford Hospital\u00a0medical control for independent dispatch as a paramedic to the towns that Aetna serves.
