Last week, members of our Oregon and Washington Transport Teams traveled to Denver, Colorado to train with the experts at @airmethodsascend ! This was an amazing opportunity for our paramedics to start down the pathway towards becoming Critical Care Paramedics. We are lucky to have three exceptional Critical Care and Flight Paramedics currently in our program and are excited to grow the next generation. The combination of their mentorship and the excellent educational opportunities from @airmethods will set our team up for success in the years to come. Our week at Air Methods Ascend included in-depth ventilator training, advanced airway practice, deep dives into physiology and pharmacology, and some amazing high fidelity simulator labs. We are excited to take our new knowledge and skills back to Bend and continue serving our community. We are excited for future training opportunities with our partner, both here and in CO. In the meantime, our medics and EMTs are continuing their studies at home through the online learning platform at Air Methods Ascend. High quality training and high quality providers will always be our biggest priority at Adventure Medics and we are thrilled about this new chapter.

Meet Cameron Kauten! Cam joined our Oregon Transport Team as a Paramedic this past August and has been an amazing new addition to the crew. Cam’s recent 911 experience has kept his ALS skills sharp and he brings a ton of knowledge and enthusiasm to the team. Cam got his start in EMS by working for Eugene Springfield Fire Department as a BLS Ambulance Operator. While he was in Lane County, he attended Lane County Community College for Paramedic school. After graduating in 2020, Cam moved north to Port Angeles, WA, where he worked as a fire medic for the past three years. Looking for a break from the rain and interested in growing his EMS experience, Cam and his girlfriend relocated to Redmond this summer when he joined our crew.
.
Recently, Cam had the experience to fly to Denver with other members of our ALS and Critical Care Teams to attend the Air Methods Ascend Critical Care Training Program. This was a three-day “Boot Camp” geared to expose our ALS team to some of the theories and skills they will need to master as Critical Care Paramedics. Cam’s thirst for knowledge was apparent on this trip and it was awesome to watch him progress through the class.
.
Cam’s favorite part about working for Adventure Medics is the people. In his words: “We have a really solid group and it’s been a pleasure working with everyone.” Outside of work, Cam describes himself as a gearhead. He loves working on his car and motorcycles and is excited to get out and start riding more roads in Central Oregon on the bike. In his free time, he loves to make music, game with his girlfriend, and spend time with their two adorable dogs.
This week, members of our Oregon Critical Care and ALS transport team headed to Denver to train with @airmethodsascend. It’s been an amazing week of learning, but one of our favorite highlights was the @coloradoavalanche #nhl game! Thank you so much, @airmethods for inviting us into your box and showing us an amazing time!
