In this episode, Aaron and Jason sit down with Sam, the PrepMedic. Sam is a current flight medic, has a popular YouTube channel, and is the PrepMedic. We discuss scene times and why they are important, education, and other topics in this episode. Sam brings a ton of different, life experience and thought into this conversation that shows why our profession is extremely nuanced. This is a great episode that presents the topic in a way that is not frequently discussed and hopefully gets you to reevaluate your position on not only scene times but our delivery of patient care.

Understanding research and how to interpret research papers is valuable to improving our practices and Dr. Shauer does a great job of breaking down how to interpret data and research.

This was one of the most informative episodes on how to effectively evaluate research, that is constantly evolving, and implement that knowledge into your current practice.
