title: A good place to work.
abstract: Of the many problems facing EMS, recruitment and retention can seem among the most intractable. Google the term paramedic shortage, and you'll get more results than you can stand to read. There are no easy answers to this situation, but there are agencies out there that have had success in finding and keeping people. What are they doing right, and what can we learn from them? Here we examine some success stories featuring solutions to personnel paucities that are worth replicating.
