Made by EMS educators, for EMS educators and providers alike! We will discuss everything EMS, including education theories and practices, current and future field practices, and EMS advocacy.
In this episode I sat down with Bodie, an Advanced Care Paramedic (ACP), for a deep dive into the realities of high-acuity street medicine. Operating solo out of a rapid response vehicle, Bodie provides a firsthand look at jumping into "Red and Purple" emergencies— from major traumas and cardiac arrests to supporting local SWAT operations with advanced procedures like surgical cricothyrotomies. Bodie unpacks his unique career trajectory, starting as a military combat medic in his early twent...

Ep 11: Those Who Can't Do, Teach
Welcome back to the show, with me, I have Alexis of the super fabulous 22 at the Lips podcast. So we decided that we wanted to get together and collaborate on the topic and the infamous phrase “those who can't do, teach.”It's a very big pet peeve of mine, it's a phrase that really has no true foundation. So Alexis and I kind of have a similar background, but the opposite is why we came here. Alexis began in education and then went into EMS (and is now getting the EMS education side ...

Ep 9: Where Initial Education Fails Us
“I was doing some self-reflection on myself as an instructor and what I could be doing to improve the way I teach. Then I started thinking about people in the field and why, at this point, they are making mistakes in the field. Then I started realizing that some of those issues are caused by a lack of initial education.”So, where does initial education fail us?Produced by Master Your Medics

Ep 8: What I Wish I Knew Back Then
Somebody asked me, "What are some things you know now that you wish you knew then?" So, it got me thinking about some things from my first years as a paramedic that I should have known then or how the things I was taught evolved.Geoff Murphy joins me to discuss things we wished we knew when starting in EMS.Produced by Master Your Medics

Ep 7: Instructor Pitfalls
So, one thing I really wanted to talk about was the concept of instructor pitfalls. In EMS, we always learn from our mistakes as providers, but I think the same is applicable to us as instructors. So, what are some things you think are pitfalls for instructors?Geoff Murphy joins me to break down and share personal stories of instructor pitfalls.Sponsored and produced by Master Your Medics.

Ep 6: Academic Momentum
I’ve been asked more times than I would like to count “how long should I be an EMT” or “what can I do to get ready” regarding entering a Paramedic program. I wish there was a secret recipe of what is needed as a one-size-fits-all approach, but there simply isn’t. EMS is a fast-paced industry and so are the academics. You wouldn’t start a treadmill on a fast speed and just hop on, right? No…. because you’re going to faceplant. You get a feel for the speed and get your legs moving and timing down before you commit…that’s academic momentum. Acid-base balance is wayyyyy easier to figure out than a life-school balance…. Sometimes the hardest part is just figuring out how to be a student.

Ep 5: Assessments
I’m sure you’ve heard your students say “I’m not good at taking exams”, but how good are you at providing those exams? If you’re simply creating exams to provide a grade, you’re simply missing the entire point of examinations…. That grade that they earn is a representation of how well they comprehend the information annndddd how well you educated them.

Ep 4: Hybrid Education
What comes to your mind when you hear the phrase “hybrid education”? What about a “flipped classroom”? This is vernacular that has been around for many years, but seems to be used more and more in todays educational system, but often it’s not in the right context. In fact, I think it’s sometimes only used in attempt as a catchy phrase and simply jargon…. I 100% have drank the proverbial kool-aid when it comes to hybrid education and flipped-classroom modeling… and to me, the taste is oh-so-sweet. However, many have not had the right exposure and have mistaken the kool-aid for Grandpa's spit bottle.
