Jay Rodriguez has been a practicing Paramedic for over 20 years, the last twelve of which have been as a critical care Paramedic. He holds multiple collegiate degrees including both an associates and Bachelors of EMS. While completing a large independent study course on prehospital obstetrics for his bachelor’s degree, he came to the startling realization that there was a significant number of obstetrical issues he could realistically have to manage in the field, but never received any training on in Paramedic school. From that point on, his mission has become to improve prehospital obstetrics and he has never looked back. He combined years of extensive training in Midwifery and Doula work with over 22 years in EMS to create Obstetrics for EMS: the first ever comprehensive set of Obstetrics courses for the EMS provider.
