We meet our new panelists

Brian and Kristina (PA’s and former paramedic’s). Casey is back!

Transitioning from paramedic to PA

Professionalism is a big emphasis in PA school.

This was something I learned as an EMT from a great paramedic partner early in my career as well.

Professionalism in EMS is a cultural and personal aspect to strive for.

PA school also wants you to keep in mind you are representing their program and PA’s in general.

Teaching the newbies

We all need to have the confidence to pull aside the newbies and make them aware of dangerous overconfidence and arrogance when we see it.

Even though it is confrontational.

Seek out mentors when you are new.

Be a mentor for new people because sometimes they aren’t confident enough to ask for one.

We don’t really have to find the exact problem that the patient is having, we are trying to figure out what the patient needs.

Be an investigator.
