His preceptor was Paramedic Matthew Campbell. He offered the following sentiment regarding his time at Aetna:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started working at Aetna about three years ago. After spending sometime as an EMT, I decided to start the challenge of paramedic school to further my knowledge in the medical field. I graduated from Capital Community College\u2019s paramedic program this past December. I was eager to start precepting and utilize some of the new skills I learned. Special thanks to Matt Campbell for his patience and knowledge provided during precepting. I am excited to practice as a paramedic and continue assisting those in need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As with all precepting phases at Aetna, Tom\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 Tom\u00a0the 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 May 15th,\u00a02018, Thomas Winterbottom has been cleared by Hartford Hospital\u00a0medical control for independent dispatch as a paramedic to the towns that Aetna serves.
