First Aid

When you have 2000+ people in a high desert environment for over a week, some of the people get booboos—whether dehydration, sunburn, cactus, fevers, or other physical challenges. Our First Aid team serves these challenges with a graceful, caring, and compassionate approach to healing. If you would like to serve in this way, we would love to have you on the team. Our First Aid area is staffed with clinical and support personnel. The medical/clinical staff must have active licenses as MD, DO, ND, or nurse from any state in the U.S. EMTs need a New Mexico license or they can obtain a temporary NM license ($135 from EMS Board, at your cost). Medical Staff can provide only first aid for patients under the license of our physician medical director. Any patients in need beyond first aid can be taken to the hospital, office, or clinic. Front Desk Staff: you will greet campers as they come in, have them fill out paperwork, and manage the flow of patients for the Medical Staff. Front desk duties also include: keeping paperwork organized, monitoring the atmosphere of the waiting room and act as a liaison with other staff regarding patients. Excellent communication skills, a calm, kind personality, organized mind and flexibility are essential for this position. Transportation Staff: Valid U.S. Drivers’ License required. Drivers will be on call for any medical emergencies to drive down the mountain with patients. Non-emergency situations also occur for First Aid functions. Drivers will be on call and carry a radio during their shifts. Transportation Staff will coordinate and execute set up and breakdown of the First Aid unit, with supervision.  Greeters: greet campers as they enter the area in front of first aid, maintain area in front of first aid trailer including self-help station, electrolytes and water containers and guide campers to meet their needs. Greeters are very important because they are the first faces people see when they come to us. All First Aid Team members are required to attend set up and breakdown.
