Hey EMS docs/fellows, there is a job opening for an EMS medical director with a cool system. Let me know if you can't find the link or any questions. Let people know.

Even if no obvious clinical or procedural gaps exist, dig into:
🔍 Clinical reasoning nuance
🎭 Communication with patients/families
🤝 Team dynamics
🧠 Efficiency, prioritization, resilience
These are advanced skills that benefit from coaching.
So by all means, push the next big breakthrough. But don’t forget the places that won’t see it for years. Because no algorithm is coming to intubate at 3 AM. No AI is staffing the fluorescent hallways. People are.
Protected Airway Course 2025 is all about innovation & teamwork - proud to be faculty doing Stress Lab 2.0 with a fantastic group of multidisciplinary clinicians. High-stakes airway management meets stress inoculation!
Had a blast helping out with the Protected Airway Collaborative this past weekend. DL, VL, FONA, SALAD, BEEF SALAD, and more! Learning with expert educators on innovative sims and cadaveric models was a great way to spend the weekend. And hanging with airway nerds!
Cuz are you really that good at S.A.L.A.D. if you can't do it with a beer in hand?
Beyond stoked for this event alongside some of my fav airway wizards @jducanto@JaceMullen@ChrisRootMD@amerelman@joshkimbre & interactive posters @ProtectedAirway

Any recommendations for MCAT prep books etc? Preferably on the thorough side vs. refresher material #artschool for undergrad lol
figured I’d start getting familiar w the content as I’m chipping away at my post bacc🤓
@excelsioremt had a pt ask me if we kept leeches on the truck because of a particularly embarrassing blood letting moment, & another time a preceptor called me “puddles” the whole shift - i somehow managed to blood let all over his boot and no where else lol - ur not alone :) just takes time
@excelsioremt Tamponade higher than you think, just above the end of the cath.
I used to hate non occluding caths - now they’re my go to :)
Also if ya want sum xtra practice 👇
Thx to an unusually slow shift, I came up with a way for student to practice IVs w/out sacrificing any human limbs:
- draw up partners coffee
- insert into 250cc bag
- tape tubing to stretcher handle
- begin acupuncture/voodoo ritual
Bonus: IV bolus coffee when done
(jk don't)
