Devin Del Rio began his career as a Healthcare Specialist in the U.S. Army, serving a total of six years on active duty. His first assignment was at Fort Riley, Kansas, where he spent two and a half years as a ground medic with the 1st Engineer Battalion, providing patient assessment and clinical care. In 2015, he graduated from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio’s Critical Care Flight Paramedic program and was subsequently stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas. There, he provided medical evacuation coverage for the entire installation, including White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
During his time at Fort Bliss, he deployed to Illesheim, Germany in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve, as well as to Houston, Texas and Aguadilla, Puerto Rico to assist with hurricane relief operations. He separated from the Army in February 2018 to broaden his experience as a civilian provider, joining AMR as an ALS Ground Ambulance Paramedic/CCT Paramedic. Shortly thereafter, he transitioned to a firefighter-paramedic role with Alamo Heights Fire Department, where he served for three years.
In March 2022, Devin accepted a position as Practice Manager (Operations Director) and EMS Educator with Shurmed/Arclight, though he soon chose to return to hands-on clinical work to further expand his medical expertise. He went on to complete Texas Tech University’s Accelerated VBSN program, which enabled him to practice as an ICU nurse at both Methodist and University Health System for the next three years.
Today, Devin works full-time as a Flight Nurse-Paramedic, continuing to build his skills in high-acuity care. Looking ahead, he plans to pursue medical school with the goal of becoming an Emergency Medicine or Intensive Care physician.
