I wanted to create a video where I could highlight all the different types of jobs and positions EMTs and Paramedic work in. If you are gaining experience and eager about maximizing your certifications this video is for you.
I cover the traditional roles of an EMT or Paramedic while also covering some interesting EMS jobs that you may not even know existed!
Fire department EMS versus Emergency medical services is not the only career path you can take with your NREMT certification. With all these extra roles and responsibilities, I will always recommend you eventually getting your Paramedic certification as that combined with 911 experience will grant you access to the most opportunity.
Let me know what type of EMS job you currently have and what your plans are for the future!
Be great,

NREMT Article: https://www.nremt.org/News/National-Registry-Adopts-Scaled-Score-Reporting-fo
The NREMT announced last month that they will be changing the way failed candidates receive feedback on their failed NREMT attempt. Traditionally if you fail NREMT, you get back either a below passing, near passing or above passing result marked in the 5 main categories.
The 5 national registry exam categories of Airway/Respiration/Ventilation, Cardiology and Resuscitation, Trauma, Medical/OBGYN, and EMS operations would each give you back one of the above "scores." Now the NREMT is changing this to what I believe will be some sort of "stat" or "numeric" value.
The news article simply states that a "scaled score" will be provided, I hope a example will be provided for candidates to see soon. Reminder to all there is no said change to the way the exam itself is scored, rather NREMT aims to provide more feedback to failed attempts in order to help assist the student pass next time.
If you have failed NREMT or are preparing for the NREMT exam at any certification level this is the resource I give all my students to prepare and pass: https://www.prepareforems.com

When a new EMT or rookie EMT starts at an ambulance service for the first time, there is a TON of pressure on them to perform. As their should be EMS deals with people in their worst moments.
With that being said, I had an exact training program, I would put all EMT students and new EMT partners through to make sure they were comfortable with their new equipment and EMT skills.
I share with you a story of a new EMT partner I had and how I got him from extremely uncomfortable to confident professional, he later went on to become a Paramedic himself.
Whether you are tasked with training or teaching EMTs or you are a new EMT/rookie EMT yourself, I believe you will find some valuable tips in this video podcast.

These EMS mnemonics have shaped the way that I practiced and teach EMTs and Paramedics. When you are in EMT school, you will learn some basics mnemonics like: SAMPLE, OPQRST, and AEIOU TIPS.
These mnemonics I cover in this video ensure that you are covering all your bases when treating EMS patients. I want to give a shoutout to one of my educational mentors, John Bielinski Jr, PA-C who was the origin of some of these mnemonics I present here.
These EMS mnemonics like AAC, PAPPA, HORID, RR OWL, give you a way to fully evaluate your emergency patient quickly and efficiently. Using some of these mnemonics when I was a new paramedic helped me tremendously in ride time and when I was precepting under senior medics.
I now want to pass these on to you, if you enjoy these mnemonics please pass them on to a partner or student it will help elevate our EMS care.
If you are new here, welcome to The Paramedic Coach channel and podcast, where I teach and discuss EMS education and training.

The NREMT exam is a cognitive exam that students must pass in order to gain national EMS certification. This NREMT certification allows the student to now apply to become licensed in their state. The NREMT exam is broken up into 5 main sections that you must study in order to pass the NREMT exam.
I have personally worked with tens of thousands EMS students over the years helping them pass their NREMT exam and this is what I have learned working with them.
I wanted to create a video showing you the biggest mistakes students make studying for the NREMT exam. By the way this includes every level of certification: EMR, EMT, AEMT and Paramedic.
If you received a below passing or near passing on NREMT, I recommend following the advice in this video and lengthen your study time, I'm here to help.
I look forward to seeing you succeed with NREMT!
Be great,
Evan, The Paramedic Coach®

Welcome to The Paramedic Coach Podcast Episode 2! One of the most critical roles as EMTs and Paramedics is lifting and moving patients. Unfortunately, your patient can be anywhere, requiring various lifting techniques and procedures.
Secondly, working in the back of the ambulance, all day there is a lot of bending and awkward movements you will be required to perform. For example, starting a difficult IV while the ambulance is moving and keeping your balance. I could go on and on but core strength and strong functional lifting abilities will help you tremendously in EMS.
One thing I didn't mention in the podcast video, that I want to mention here is stress management and taking time to make sure YOU are healthy and that YOU are OK. So many of us in EMS focus on patient's day in and day out that we forget to take care of ourselves.
I hope the practical tips in this video help you become a stronger and more fit version of yourself so that you can continue to be an asset to the communities you serve!
