Paramedic - outpatient care

Spectrum Healthcare Resources • Springfield, OH

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Spectrum Healthcare Resources, in partnership with TeamHealth, is seeking a Certified Paramedic to provide correctional medical care at the Clark County Jail in Springfield, Ohio. This role offers full-time day and part-time opportunities, focusing on an adult population. The position involves providing a range of medical care, including primary, addiction, urgent, and behavioral health services. The work is evidence-based, addressing patient needs rather than wants, and offers exposure to a vast array of medical pathologies not typically seen in other healthcare settings. This is a socially meaningful role, serving a marginalized population that often lacks ordinary access to medical care due to factors like lack of insurance, mental illness, or homelessness, making it ideal for those interested in addiction medicine or mental health. The position provides a large degree of medical autonomy, free from micromanagement, with extensive nursing guidelines in place. It is also noted as safer than many other healthcare settings due to prohibitions on weapons, the handling of controversial inmates by correctional staff, consequences for inmate misbehavior, and the ability to stop and restart visits.

Requirements

• Graduate of a school of practical or vocational nursing approved by a state agency or accredited by the ACEN
• A minimum of 12 months of experience in a primary care setting within the last 24 months
• Active, unrestricted OH LPN license
• BLS from the American Heart Association

Responsibilities

• Provide a range of medical care to include primary, addiction, urgent and behavioral health care
• Address patient needs with evidence-based care
• Provide medical care to inmates at the Clark County Jail
