Preparing New EMS Providers | Beyond The Textbook

March 6, 2013 by Jim Hoffman Leave a Comment
Tweet

!cid_1A4117EE-C2FC-40DA-8ED5-4309CD462105As an EMS professional you have sat in class, studied the content, taken the exams and have even continued your education in CEU’s. But with all this book learnin’ how can you translate the textbook into the field?
The calls we go on don’t adhere to the textbook and the patients have not read them either. So, the balancing act is ever present between the text and the reality of EMS.

Listen as Jim, Josh and guest Bob Sullivan discuss the disconnect and some of the issues new EMS providers face.

Thanks to Joe P, John Broyles and Tom Bouthillet and others for joining in the chat room.

This Monday Minutes I am introducing a new feature where I will cover a small niche area of EMS that is aimed to help you review the topic and point out key areas that can help you on exams, during patient care and understand what you can expect to see and how your care can effect your patients.

This week – The Nervous System. While this certainly can’t be covered in five minutes, this episode will hopefully help point out those key areas that you may see on your next EMS exam.
