Flight paramedic cert

[medicaltransient]

I already payed for the fpc test and I guess now I need to study for it. I have the ACESAT the newest eddition of the ASTNA and I have Flight BridgeED FP-C and CFRN cert exam. What else do I need to buy????

Thanks for all the help.

BTW Flight BridgeED FP-C and CFRN cert exam was a waist of money and I would not recommend it to anyone.

If you just have the AceSat book, I've heard great things about the video series- though it's not cheap.

Funny thing I bought the series, it was great but something about working 56 hrs a week and around 12 college hours every semester including summers, it expired before I could test. I watched all the videos and took most of the tests. I absolutely love William Wingfield and wish he would make an updated ACE SAT since it was copywriten in 2008.

My advice is to skip over to this site (if you have not done so already) flightweb.com

Lot of great resources there. Few of the regular forum douches can be a bit abrasive however the majority are very helpful.

You don't need to buy anything else. Just start studying.

I don't know anything about their cert materials, but the handful of their podcasts that I listened to were absolute junk. Just full of blatant misinformation.

I used http://www.medspx.com/ and It helped me study and was amazing.

I found Wingfield's videos and book to be great resources. I relied on taking a huge number of practice test questions. I found that this was the best way of making sure I actually knew a topic and pointed out areas I had not studied well enough. I find that if I rely on reading texts and taking notes, I sometimes feel I know a topic better than I actually do when push comes to shove. I also have a tendency to skip over areas I am less comfortable with (OB) and focus on areas I enjoy more (Cardiology, Neuro etc) where I really needed less help. It is also important to have a realistic idea of how much Critical Care knowledge you have. Are you well versed in high acuity critical care transport? If so you really shouldn't have to "study" evaluating lab values, IABP waveforms, med doses etc. What you really need is to learn how to answer the test questions. To understand in a timely manner what the question is asking and how to weed out answers. The same goes for flight operations. Do you currently fly? Best of luck.

Thanks for your advice. I had 1 year of experience on a critical care/911 truck. No i don't fly.

The book and Wingfield's videos are all you need.
