His preceptors were veteran paramedics Greg Derosier and Dave White. Charlie was hired at the Ambulance Service of Manchester in March, 2015. He offered the following sentiment:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;During my precepting phase I responded to roughly 100 calls over a 10-week period. ASM has a very large coverage area so this was an excellent opportunity as a new Paramedic to get familiar with many of the volunteer services we work alongside. Having two of ASM&#8217;s seasoned paramedics offer guidance as I transitioned into my new role was paramount. In conjunction to emergencies, a large part of our job is high acuity interfacility transfers between area hospitals. Greg and Dave were crucial in getting me familiar with how ASM operates in this capacity and our role as Paramedics. I thoroughly enjoyed my time practicing alongside the two of them and I am excited to\u00a0be cleared for independent med control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Charlie-Dave.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9596\" src=\"http:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Charlie-Dave.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Charlie-Dave.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Charlie-Dave-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Charlie-Dave-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As with all precepting phases at\u00a0ASM,\u00a0Charlie\u2019s final approval came from Eastern Connecticut Health Network\u00a0after shadowing\u00a0him and\u00a0his preceptors in the field as they responded to emergency calls.
