What does your agency require, if anything, that new EMTs/medics learn as far as the streets and geography of their service area? Are they tested?
Does anyone have any tips as far as memorizing street rotations, hundred blocks and such?
My new dispatch job expects and tests to a pretty high standard for this stuff... and with about 150 sq. miles and nearly 2,000 people per square mile... there are a lot of streets to learn. I know it could be harder but still.
I've been making flashcards with street names, pictures that I've associated to the street name (like a pickle for Picadilly) and the hundred block on the back. Also planning on doing some driving around.
