    Got kicked out of paramedic school for disability, is this a sign?

    As an instructor at a college teaching EMT and Paramedic I can tell you that most college's have a policy in dealing with disabilities, real or percieved. That is not my job, that is the responsibility of a specialist. I will refer the student to that person and abide by whatever accommodations...

    Teaching the Art of the Differential Diagnosis

    Hard to explain the exact process that I use to teach my students. But I'll try. I set up a scenario case and have them form differentials based on complaint/presentation. Some differentials will be thrown out totally and some will be moved farther back. For instance if I give them a complaint...

    Wondering

    That is a personal evaluation and depends on the understanding of those subjects by the individual. I have many students that come in fresh from high school who do not have even a basic grasp on math. Math that seems easy to me and I'm not a math whiz by any stretch. There are many other more...

    EMS and burn out advise please

    I went through it, my boss who was a good friend of mine saw it and told me to take ten shifts off. I did and when I can back from that month I wanted to be back on the truck, burnout is a very real thing and it kills not only you it kills your patients from complacency. I have just started...

    Supplies for EMT class

    Sorry, I should have tried to be more clear. I don't yet have a complete list in excel or I would post that, but do have things like... Long boards, c-collar, KED, trac splints, frac PACs, a stretcher, cpr stuff, I currently borrow IV arms from nursing, although I do have an IO manikin. I have...

    Supplies for EMT class

    Hello all, I have just assumed the lead instructor position for an overlooked and very understocked EMT program (I teach Basic and Advanced) I have just been given a pretty decent budget to add to the stuff that I have, I of course have a list and it's pretty long but I still have not reached...

    EMS Video Lectures - Any Interest?

    Again find someone from your area, even though it's online education your target audience is still going to be in your immediate area for right now. To do that I'd first go to the educators and training officers and poke around and see if there is any interest. Your presenters need to be really...

    EMS Video Lectures - Any Interest?

    Hey man, I do this at the agency I am clinical educator at. We built a library of most of the various skills to serve as an orientation, con ed, and just for updates. If you have a training officer or educator in house I'd say you'd do best with getting them to do this as they will know exactly...

    Can anyone explain this call?

    I'd go with PE as well. Here once we place CPAP we don't D/C unless we move to BVM or ET. Thanks for that tip STX, I'll add that to my bag o' tricks. Was that ETC02 taken before CPAP or during? was it by NC or inline as in the flowsafe? If it was NC under the CPAP the washout will be ~10mm or so.
