He stepped up multiple occasions in times when I was absent. It's been great seeing Ryan come into his own. I always knew Ryan was in the grind-mode era of his life with the three jobs and juggles. (Medex Ambulance, Event Medical Solutions, and Chicago EMT Training). But I didn't know how humble he really was until he shared he finished his undergraduate degree with a 4.0 GPA and recently got accepted into Physician Assistant School. We're grateful for the time he's spent with us and we're eager to see...2024-11-1048 minChicago EMT Training: The PodcastMeet Your Instructor: Diego GuzmanDiego has been with us ever since he completed the course in the Summer of 2020.

He’s someone that truly loves the medicine aspect of Emergency Medicine. So much so that he currently prefers to remain at his single role paramedic position rather than exploring dual role firefighter/paramedic positions. He became an EMT and Paramedic through Marty! He has a soft spot for serving the underserved. We explore different avenues within healthcare like critical care medicine, flight medicine, and even physician assistant school.

Where you go, I go.Marty and Victor reflect on their individual and collective journeys through EMS.

This podcast will be a space to discuss current events, catch up with other healthcare adjacent professionals, and give you insight into why they continue to do what we do.
