Hey y’all!
I have been working as a medic in CA for about a year and a half, and am currently looking at moving out of state to get out of the private EMS hell out here (along with cost of living, etc). I am realizing while attempting to study for tests for some of these places I’ve applied to that I don’t know/feel confident in a lot of stuff that was somewhat glanced over in school. This is also coupled with the fact that I simply don’t end up running a lot of high acuity calls, and when I do, I’m usually not thinking of differntial diagnoses, just “treat what I see”. I paid for the paramedic refresher from IA med, but it seems like most of the classes I have are flight medic based, mostly speaking of ventilators and blood gases which is cool, it’s just not necessarily what I do on the streets. How do y’all keep up to date on things, and keep your education/knowledge growing? I wanna be the best provider I can be, I just feel like I’m “just another AMR medic”.
Thanks!
