ABOUT US
We are a collection of like-minded EMT, Paramedics and other “EMS Professionals” (Emergency Medical Service) who love to serve.
We are a team of like-minded EMTs, Paramedics, and other EMS professionals who are passionate about serving.
Our service provides producers of TV, film, and live events with turn-key medical coverage—at the same cost as a standard set or event medic.
But we offer much more than just medics. We supply medical equipment and supplies, handle all necessary insurance and medical director requirements, and have the infrastructure to deliver reliable service wherever your production goes.
Our goal is to provide a qualified medic close to your filming location, no matter where that may be. While proximity cannot always be guaranteed, we’ve successfully supported many traveling productions and events. In other cases, the right medic may be available in your nearest major city. (See the map below for current resource locations.)
For our highly specialized advanced medics, transportation and lodging are typically required, so early booking is recommended.
So book early!
HOW IT WORKS
When a producer requests an EMS professional we search our vast database. Our database was built from the ground up to find the closest and best qualified medic for your location.
We provide everything you need!
- The Medical Professional/s
- Insurance: Medical Malpractice and Liability Insurance
- Necessary Kits
- Advance Life Support
- Medical Control
- Even Ambulances and other rescue apparatus
Once the medics are secured we provide you with the contact information.
We pay the medics and invoice your production company with copies of the medic’s daily reports.
ABOUT OUR MEDICS
In the film industry, we use the term “medic” for simplicity, though the correct designations are EMT and Paramedic.
Every medic in our network holds, at a minimum, a valid EMT certification. Other personnel—such as lifeguards, security, or specialized support staff—are certified as required for each production or event.
Each member of our database personally chose to join National Set Medics, and most continue to work actively within the EMS system. We have personnel in every major city and countless small towns across the United States, with new medics joining daily.
Every medic has earned their EMT, Paramedic, or higher certification through their state or the National Registry, completing months or years of training, extensive clinical rotations, background checks, and state or national approval.
Our medics represent every political and social background, military and public service sector, lifestyle, race, religion, and gender—united under the banner of National Set Medics
