The handshake
Jocelynn (Joci) Johnson
EMT on the medicine pipeline: paramedic next, med school the destination.
Sea-turtle patrols in Hawaii, bat specialty care in Kentucky, 911 shifts in Grand Rapids.
The road
Now: EMT at American Medical Response, Grand Rapids — 911 and transport shifts, real patients, real hours.
Next: paramedic — deeper scope, harder calls.
The destination: medical school. The biology degree, the ER shadowing, the rig — it's all one road.
Why this card exists
This is a handshake, not an application. If you work in medicine — EMS, nursing, PA, MD, admissions, anywhere along that ladder — Joci would rather have twenty minutes of your story than a job posting. Advice, coffee, a shift shadow, an intro: all welcome.
