I was immediately impressed by the professionalism and technical proficiency of my coworkers and have been proud to be part of a company where the EMT\u2019s and Paramedics are held in such high regard throughout the EMS community. Over the past months of precepting, I benefitted greatly from the experience of both of my preceptors who have each worked in EMS for twenty years. I am honored to have been mentored by such capable Paramedics and look forward to utilizing the knowledge I have gained from them while providing ALS service to the communities that ASM covers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As with all precepting phases at\u00a0ASM,\u00a0Matthew\u2019s final approval came from Eastern Connecticut Health Network\u00a0after shadowing\u00a0him and\u00a0his preceptors in the field as they responded to emergency calls. On behalf of the ASM Family, we would like to wish Matthew 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>MANCHESTER\u00a0\u2013 As of September 2nd,\u00a02018, ASM\u2019s Matthew Burrell\u00a0has been cleared by Eastern Connecticut Health Network\u00a0medical control for independent dispatch as a paramedic to the towns that ASM\u00a0serves.
