The primary function of this cooperative effort is to assure a safe and efficient operational environment. It is our intention to limit the extent of lost time injuries and maximize recovery through rapid, on-scene intervention. Offshore Paramedics "Expanded Scope" To better prepare our Paramedics to function effectively in remote locations, Safety Management Systems provides Medical Care Person in Charge (MCPIC) course to all of it's staff. MCPIC is a 45 hour course designed to broaden the physical assessment skills of the Paramedic to effectively evaluate nonemergency complaints and properly relay findings to our in-house Medical Director to recommend a course of treatment. The focus is to educate the paramedic's in identifying abnormalities, and then be the "eyes and hands" of the physician. The duties and clinical scope of practice of the contract paramedic have been expanded to meet the changing needs of the oil industry. Saving lives and providing expert care for the sick or injured remains the key thrust of the operation. Dr. Donald Thibodaux, Medical Director  Dr. Donald Thibodaux graduated from Nicholls State University with a BS in Chemistry in 1976. He then attended medical school at LSU Medical Center in New Orleans and graduated in 1979. Thibodaux completed his Emergency Medicine residency in 1982 from Charity Hospital at New Orleans. For the next 20 years he practiced hospital based Emergency Medicine in Houma Louisiana. "I enjoyed the challenge and responsibility associated with my specialty." "For the last 6 years I have been the Medical Director of SMS. I love this job! It is clinical medicine at its best. As a team, the paramedic and I assess situations on remote locations. We take a history from the patient, perform a physical exam, discuss the case, make a diagnosis, and develop a treatment plan. The challenges that we face, is what makes the job so rewarding." Nationally Registered Paramedics The training level of Paramedics is the highest pre-hospital emergency medical care certification attainable. There are about 1,000 hours in clinical didactic course work beyond the previous levels of EMT training.
