MCEMS provides both urban and rural response so you will be exposed to a wide variety of calls. During your shift you will run calls from one of the seven ambulance stations we have throughout Muskogee county.
Each station is set up to be your “home away from home” with cable TV’s, bedrooms, full kitchen, living areas and bathrooms with shower. Each station has it’s own back-up generator.
Every MCEMS station has free WiFi and a computer with internet access. In your down time you can use the computer to surf the web or keep up your CEU’s on EMS1 Academy. EMS1 Academy is free to all employees and available wherever you have web access.
To keep our medics up to date, all skills refreshers and CEU’s are offered in-house through company wide training.
