Loud & Clear: EMS Guiding Principles - Advanced Continuing Education for Paramedics, EMTs & Prehospital Care Providers: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Ross Orpet, Paramedic turned EMS Physician
Paramedic training is over, you’re in the front seat now. Whether day 1 or day 1,000 you can’t shake the fear you’re underprepared. You were taught to systematically decide if A... do B. But what if “A” wasn’t in the book? The truth is each emergency call is too unique to teach the right response to every situation. We need to go beyond algorithmic thinking and understand deeper principles, the WHY behind the algorithm. When every decision counts you want to rely on a framework that will guide you when things don’t make sense. Through discussions with experts, review of evidence-based best practices, and real-world case studies we teach you one step past what you learned in paramedic school. But all of this advanced education is connected back to the guiding principles that answer the question- “at the end of the day, what actually matters to the patient I have in front of me?”

Treat Mom First: Amniotic Fluid Embolus and Other Peri-partum Emergencies
A postpartum patient does not need to look dramatic to be in real danger. In this episode from FAST 26, Ross talks with Amy Loucks about pregnancy-related deaths, maternal care deserts, postpartum warning signs, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, infection, and the calls EMS can easily miss. Then Elizabeth Garchar walks through amniotic fluid embolism, now often framed as an anaphylactoid reaction of pregnancy: sudden cardiovascular collapse, right heart failure, DIC, TXA, whole blood, AOK, and the principle that matters most when everything goes bad: treat mom first.

Pressure Matters: Oxygenation vs. Ventilation in Pre-Oxygenation with Scott Weingart
Pre-Oxygenation is not just putting oxygen on the patient and hoping the sat buys you enough time. In this episode, Ross talks with Scott Weingart after his FAST26 talk on preventing peri-intubation arrest. They get into why many peri-intubation arrests are predictable and preventable, why shunt physiology requires pressure and not just FiO2, and how EMS clinicians can build a field-ready setup with a nasal cannula, BVM mask, PEEP valve, and continuous pressure. Scott also walks through low-, moderate-, and high-risk patients, why high-risk oxygenation patients may not be good RSI candidates, and what changes for asthma, aspiration risk, and morbid obesity.

A checklist should reduce cognitive load. So why does yours make things worse?

Pediatric Sepsis with Dr. Peter Antevy
Pediatric sepsis is easy to miss because the first hour often looks ordinary. Kids compensate, until they don't. In this episode, Will Berry talks with Dr. Peter Antevy about the case that still bothers him and why fluids, vasopressors, antibiotics, and hospital feedback all have to be treated as one resuscitation system.

How to Build Procedural Skills - That Actually Stick
Most EMS skills training creates an illusion of competence. You drill a procedure, check a box, and move on. But what does the research actually show about competency and retention? Dr. Jason Hine (EM physician, SimKit founder) breaks down the actual science of procedural skill acquisition: S-curves, encoding and consolidation, retrieval practice, and why expensive simulation labs often underperform cheap, high-rep lo-fi tools. Plus: a big announcement about SimKit and the Paramedic Confidence Builder.

How to Fail Better in EMS: A Framework for Growth
Stephanie Suzadail's favorite word is "fail." She'll tell you why and how we should embrace it. In this episode she walks through the difference between failure that builds you and failure that breaks you. Why Sisyphus is a warning, not a role model. Why the best clinicians you'll ever work with have made bigger mistakes than you have. Why high-functioning organizations report mistakes ten times more often than average ones. Why self-identified perfectionists only ever climb to "moderately successful."

The Call Nobody Trained You For — Jim Schmidt on Domestic Violence Recognition
Most medics walk onto a domestic violence scene armed with instinct and not much else. Jim Schmidt thought 20 years in the fire service had prepared him for anything — until he had to identify his stepdaughter Gabby Petito's body in 2021. In the months and years after he realized how little EMS is prepared to recognize and treat domestic violence victims. What he's learned since has rewritten what first responders should be doing on these calls. Jim walks us through the red flags, why strangulation may leave no external marks but signals a 750% jump in homicide risk, how to document, how to treat and talk to the patient, and what patterns we can recognize.

Great Mentors Shape Better Clinicians
Don't Be A Field Training Officer Be A Field Training Mentor. Field training is about more than teaching skills, it shapes culture, standards, and the kind of clinician someone becomes. In this episode, Ross sits down with Ben Tacy onsite at FASTCAN to talk about the origins of field training and why Ben prefers the language of mentorship over “field training officer”. If you care about leadership, education, workplace culture, or building better medics, this conversation is worth your time.
