Paramedic Jobs in Iraq

Paramedic jobs in Iraq or Afghanistan are numerous since all companies usually have some sort of medical person on site.

I have worked with a lot of paramedics and each one has proven self over and over in crisis situations and in the day to day caring for the people they have been assigned. They take their jobs seriously but are usually the ones in camp with the most humor.

Here is a story entitled “They Call Me Doc”

Here is part of the story: When word about medical work in Iraq circulated, my interest piqued, butterflies danced in my belly, and I quickly applied. But when I got off the phone with the recruiter, I knew only that I would be providing medical aid to unnamed clients in Iraq and that the work might involve combat and was definitely unsafe – I really had no idea what I was getting into. I prayed that I would not become another gruesome photo or 15-second video clip for the rest of the world to gawk at and my mother to cry over forever. As I packed my bags, stuffing in a rosary and prayer card, I practiced the Act of Contrition.

First let’s start with a blog for paramedics.

Another site is flip dog which lists a few jobs for overseas work.

This next site promotes Iraq Medical Jobs. This next site iraqjobs.com has a few posting on it.

As I was looking today, I went to the dyncorp.com site to see what they had open—looks like they are looking for a lot of medics—but keep in mind—these are very dangerous positions—you will be in the field living in a tent—the Taliban will be constantly trying to kill you.

Good luck in your job search. Keep in mind that working in the Middle East is hot, dusty work. It is very dangerous and you will find yourself working on more than just Americans.
