Volunteer with the SFPA
Volunteers have always been the cornerstone of the success of the San Francisco Paramedic Association. They have played a very important role in making us the leading provider of emergency training in the Bay Area.
EMS Professionals must continually hone their skills in order to handle medical emergencies.
Our volunteers help instill the realism of scenario based training as they role-play victims needing advanced medical care.
