ASM, with its very large geographic coverage responsibility, has been a blessing in that I have been able to work in many team settings: from solo ambulance response to 10+ person volunteer responses which have helped develop good teamwork and direction capabilities. My talented preceptors were able to immediately identify areas that needed correction, provide guidance, as well as, provide best practices based on their combined experience. Tim and Bob were absolutely critical and professional in preparing me to operate in ASM\u2019s sphere of EMS responsibility. I thoroughly enjoyed my time learning from and practicing alongside these two, and I am excited to\u00a0be cleared for independent dispatch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As with all precepting phases at\u00a0ASM,\u00a0Rodney\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 Rodney 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 23rd 2018, ASM\u2019s Rodney Bailey has been cleared by Eastern Connecticut Health Network\u00a0medical control for independent dispatch as a paramedic to the towns that ASM\u00a0serves.
