We all finished paramedic training and were thrust into the front seat of an ambulance with fears that we were underprepared. The truth is though, you can’t learn it all. Instead of having every answer, you need a set of guiding principles. Each emergency call is too unique to teach the right response to every situation. Stuck in basic algorithms of “if this” then “do this” fails to build the foundation to be able to react when “if this” wasn’t in the book. We aim to fix that. Each month we bring you insightful discussions with industry experts, evidence-based best practices, and real-world case studies and we view all of these discussions through the lens of, “at the end of the day, what really matters to me, the paramedic, in the field?”. EMS Cast dives deep into emergency medicine topics with a goal to teach you one step past what you learned in paramedic school and connect all of it back to a set of guiding principles. If we get away from, if A then B, and instead shift to understanding the principles behind WHY if A then B, we can begin to apply it in a myriad of different scenarios. If you’re looking to increase your clinical acumen, if you’re in search of mastery and expertise in prehospital medicine, EMS Cast is designed for you. Our mission is to elevate your practice and help you improve patient outcomes in every emergency situation. You may not feel ready, you may not feel like you know enough, but you can understand the guiding principles and day by day you can become an expert clinician in the field of prehospital medicine. Because what you do matters.
