Medcor is looking to hire an EMT to work as a Workplace Health Technician in an occupational health clinic at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in San Diego, CA. The Safari Park has "Roar & Snore" camp nights, which require an EMT on site. These camps are from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., Thursday through Saturday.
