Cerro Coso Instructor Receives EMS Award

May 10, 2007

Mike Metcalf

Cerro Coso Community College Emergency Medical Technician & Industrial Technology Instructor, Michael Metcalf has been selected to receive the Kern County Department of Emergency Medical Services “EMS Outstanding Service Award”. Metcalf will be presented the award, and honored at two official events in Bakersfield: May 15, the Board of Supervisors will present a resolution at 9 a.m. and on May 22 the award will be presented at noon during the EMS Week Conference.

Michael Metcalf was nominated by Steve Busby, Public Service Faculty Chair and Director of Public Safety Programs at Cerro Coso who stated, “Michel has shown a life-long history of outstanding service to the Kern County EMS System. He began his involvement with the system taking the EMT Course when he was 14 years old and again at 17 years of age. He started his career in the field when he was an Explorer Scout at a local ambulance company in Ridgecrest.”

Over the past 20 years Metcalf worked as a Paramedic in Ridgecrest, California City, Mojave, Rosamond, Boron, Coso Geo-Thermal, and Kennedy Meadows. He worked with the Kern County Fire Department as a paid call firefighter and volunteered in a program aiding BLM Rangers develop their medical procedures.

Metcalf currently maintains his Paramedic skills continuing to work as a Flight Paramedic and Medical Education Coordinator for Mercy Air Services. He then advanced to the position as the Medical Base Supervisor at Mojave prior to taking a full-time EMT teaching position at Cerro Coso in 2005.

Metcalf has been an active instructor in the EMT field for over 10 years as a college adjunct instructor. “Michael does not stop at teaching but he continues to seek out training courses that will not only keep his certification active but that enhance his skills and abilities. He continually averages close to 100 hours every two years of training directly related to his field,” stated Busby.
