Really good question, but difficult to answer. It all depends on how you define "competent understanding of emergency medicine."

Listening to podcasts and whatnot is a great way to keep up with new advances, but most of the EM podcasts expect listeners to have a broad fund of knowledge. I think your time might be better spent focusing on getting a solid foundation in the basics. Here's my two cents.

1. Learn anatomy and medical terminology. Work on getting comfortable with medical lingo and use it (appropriately) in your reports. Medicine is about sounding smart as much as it is about being smart. For example, documenting that you noted "bilateral +2 lower extremity pitting edema extending to the knees" on a CHFer sounds a whole lot more professional than "lower legs swollen." Being able to describe physical exam findings accurately and professionally goes a long way and garners much respect.
   
   It's equally important to know when not to use certain medical terms, as there are quite a few words that carry an "oh shit" connotation. For example, do not describe an abdomen as "rigid" unless their belly feels like your palpating the tires of your ambulance. A true rigid abdomen means they need to be in the OR 2 hours ago. Do not a sleepy sick toddler as "lethargic" unless the kid is pretty much limp and lifeless. You'll end up scaring the shit out of your ED staff and/or making yourself look like an idiot.
   
   
2. Expand your physical exam and history taking abilities. You probably won't learn much more in the way of history/physical skills in medic class. Those are BLS skills. I highly recommend reading Bates. Not all of it is pertinent to EMS, but a lot of it is.
   
   Knowing which questions to ask is hugely important. Bates also covers a lot of terminology too, which goes back to point #1. For example, the whole "chest pain patient clutching fist to chest" thing they teach in EMT class...that has a name. That's a Levine's sign. And if you can accurately describe skin findings (eg "diffuse erythematous maculopapular rash" as opposed to "hives"), you'll look like a genius.
   
   
3. Learn physiology and pathophysiology. Read up on the diseases that they didn't teach you about in EMT class. Understand basic things like wheezing does not mean asthma.
   
   
4. Learn common drugs and their pharmacology, especially the ones you carry. Epocrates is a great way to start. Lange Basic and Clinical Pharmacology is a great reference. It's the standard pharm book for medical schools, but its great at explaining things in a way that's fairly easy to understand.
   
   
5. If you're curious about something, be proactive in finding out the answer. Look it up yourself or ask the medics you work with, ED staff, docs, etc.
   
   TL;DR- Never stop learning.
   
   
   
   

Np fam! I don't know much about Detroit EMS. Never been there, its too damn cold up there for me-I live in the deep south (so I feel you on the being too cold part!). Good on you for driving. Keep doing that, keep your record clean, and get experience being a good driver. Keep being responsible. You Dad's friend sounds like he would be a great place to start as far as getting some info. Give him a call, or go visit him and pick his brain about all of this stuff. He'll know how Detroit EMS works better than me. He can also probably give you good tips on the best schools to get your training and who to call about further information (ask him where he got his certification). Also, he might be a great hook up for helping you get in for a third ride.

You can respond to emergency 911 calls as a Basic or AEMT. Just depending on the nature of the call (and how 911 works in your area), you might not necessarily be in the back with the pt (might have to be the medic back there if you're on an ALS rig). Work your way up. Depending on how things are in Detroit (if EMT-B's are utilized as 911), a lot of people skip AEMT and go straight for paramedic. I always recommend getting experience working for a while after you get your EMT-B/AEMT cert before jumping into medic. Work for a few months, even if it is just volunteering. Get used to being on the truck. It usually makes you a better provider than if you just bulldooze through school and go straight through to medic. Just look up some of the EMS schools in your area- some are separate stand alone academies, others are part of technical/vocational/trade schools or community colleges. Give them a call and have a chat about your questions.

Also, pro-tip: some services will pay for some of your schooling if you agree to work for them for x amount of time afterwards. Some volunteer EMS places will do the same if you agree to volunteer with them x amount of time after you're trained.

There is reciprocity between some states. That's something you'll have to research when you know where you're moving to. There's this thing called the NREMT- National Registry of EMT's. Some states participate with it. Others don't and do their own thing. It's basically how they train you- in NREMT states, you take a National registry test to get your cert. There's a written multiple choice part and an in person practical part. If Michigan is an NREMT state and you move to another NREMT state, reciprocity is usually pretty easy. It gets more complicated otherwise. You can call the state EMS office of the state you plan to move to and ask if they grant reciprocity to people from Michigan and what you would have to do to make it work. Here's a page about which states give reciprocity and what level of certification they'll give reciprocity to: http://www.emt-resources.com/emt-reciprocity.html (it's a little dated as it still refers to EMT-I's and not AEMT's, but it gives you some idea).

Body Armour: Not necessary in my opinion. One of THE biggest things that will be hammered into your head during training is scene safety. The popo is there to have your back. Any situation that could potentially be dangerous (gun shots, stabbings, psychiatric pts, assaults, drug related calls/OD's, that kind of stuff), the cops will go in first while you stage (sit around in the rig a few blocks away and wait for their okay to come in). They'll secure the scene. Ideally, you should not worry about getting shot at or something. That said, I know of at least three people I work with who do wear it. They've been here a while and I work for a very well known, high volume, urban service (I'm sure Detroit is similar). It's a personal decision, but it is entirely unnecessary if you follow your training on scene safety. (Good read for you: "A Thousand Naked Strangers" by Kevin Hazzard- https://www.amazon.com/Thousand-Naked-Strangers-Paramedics-Wild-ebook/dp/B00UDCI1T2) This guy worked as a medic for years and years at the place where I work now. Great read about what it's like to be in EMS.

K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple, Stupid. Words to live by!

Gloves. Just your standard Nitrile gloves. I have a box in my closet with about 5 pair in my truck. Although with Texas summers here, I'd bet they've melted together by now. I should really check on that...

Safety Glasses Any brand will do. Just look for ANSI Z87.1. You'll probably never use them, or 90% of what's in your bag, but they're nice to have on hand.

Knife w/seat belt cutter & window punch. This is mine. I keep it on my trucks visor when I'm driving, and on me when I'm not. Cheap and useful. A little big though.

Simple Breathing mask. Always good to have around.

Gauze Rolls & Gauze Pads. I've used these a couple times, all on myself. I have the uncanny ability to fall when running outdoors. It's truly a gift.

Large SAM Splint. Surprisingly I've used two in only a year of building my kit. Once for myself, colles fracture from tripping, and the second time for a friend who slipped in my kitchen. We're not the most coordinated bunch.

And if you're feeling adventuress (sp?), Emergency Blanket, Cold Pack, & a Hot Pack. These aren't necessary, but nice to have if you have some extra $$$ to burn.

This is all i carry in my truck medical wise. It's also a good idea to have a flashlight on your vehicle or in the bag. Don't waste money on anything "fancy". You'll never use them and if you do you'll probably get sued.

I received a pre-stocked jump bag from a family member as a gift for getting my EMT cert. Came with OPA's, C-Collar, Adult/Pedi BVM, & a couple suture kits. These are no-no's. Good Samaritan laws won't protect you if you use these. DON'T BUY/USE THEM WHEN NOT ON A RIG! (The suture kits are another matter...just don't) I took these out of my bag completely.

TL;DR K.I.S.S. Avoid anything a non-EMS person couldn't use.

EDIT: Formatting

I'm not one for filling huge pockets with stuff and we're required to have enough of the standard bits and pieces but there's two extra things I've found that I love:

Snapit ampoule opener - not necessary but personal deficiencies mean I've never managed 100% ampoule opening success by hand and this thing does it perfectly every time, is small and durable, ideal for EMS use. Obvciously no point if not using glass amps but I no longer hate metoclopramide now because of this thing.

Batclp - leather steth clip that feels like something you'd hold a gun with or something, very durable and simple but the only product I can find that works so well and is so simple. Handmade and a bit pricey much like the snapit but the best way to keep a steth neat and attached to something I can find.

A quality steth is the standard gift and there's a lot of Littmann Classic IIs in daily use that have rattled around ambulances for decades since someone left training school.

Those are generally crap... you'll want your own, but there is some good middle ground between top of the line and playschool ones typically found on the trucks.

I have had really great luck with the master classic II which can be found for around $80 if you shop around. The last time my Master Classic went for a walk off the buggy without me, I switched to the ADC612, it's a knock off MCII, but at half the price (around $40), and I think for field work is just as good, or slightly better.


Oh yeah, and a helpful hint when scope shopping... go with a long tube, it does lose some sound quality, but greatly lowers your chance of being thrown up on or bitten :D

This is a good question - and your situation isn't unique. I can suggest the following: listen to podcasts that are relevant. I can suggest a few - EMCrit, Prehospital and Retrieval Medicine, Sydney HEMS are the ones I listen to. They have great discussion about advanced airway management, including changing ideas in the realm of airway management. Also, read about it. It sounds silly as you just finished medic school, but I can promise you that there is so much more out there on the topic then you were exposed to in school. I've suggested this book before, and I'll suggest it again: Manual of Emergency Airway Management. It's a wonderful place to start when you really want to get good at advanced airway management. Also, run through scenarios, and procedures in your head. Practice airway assessments on patients you'll likely not have to intubate. Use your time at work to learn all the cerebral aspects of managing an airway. It's such a critical skill, we as Paramedics need to be better at at.

Your job, this profession, expects you to be a very proficient "Laryngoscopist". If you only got to preform 1 intubation in school (which boggles my mind! No OR time at all?), then you've got a lot of catching up to do. BUT, knowing you've got work to do to improve is HUGE. Many medics think they know it all, and end up hurting people, and lo-and-behold, eventually they get ETT's taken away from them. You seem to know you need work. Start with my suggestions, and I promise you, you will get better. Just never get complacent.

I had good luck with a book called Success! For the EMT Basic. It has practice tests in it, and the answer key gives rationale for why the answer is the correct one as well. Very helpful and not terribly expensive.

Good luck!

Best book on the market in my opinion is Rapid Interpretation of EKGs. Its been in print for decades, and its definitely held up over time as the best EKG books out there. It covers everything you need to know to have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of EKGs, and it does so in a way thats easy to understand.

The author is a convicted felon and child pornographer. But don't worry too much about that, its still a great book.

I think Learn Rhythm adult is a good way to get started, but certainly pick up an introduction to EKG type book. People love Dale Dubin's EKG book (albeit he has a pretty sketchy background...) so you'll find a lot of people referring it.

If I recall though the Learn: Rhythm Adult course only covers 3-lead EKGs, and for a tech position you do want to learn a bit about 12 leads. The Physio Control 12 Lead made Easy program was fairly decent if I remember correctly.

If you want something that's a break from something so clinical, read Blood, Sweat and Tea. I'm not much of a reader, but the short stories are pretty funny and it's awesome to learn some things about EMS from the UK/NHS.

I passed my national on the third try. All three times I went up to 120 questions. First and second try were a week apart. the third test I studied for two months to make sure I passed. I got this book on amazon, studied every question, and any question I got wrong I wrote it on a google doc with the correct answer. By the end of the book I had about 12 pages of material I didn't understand. After that I just studied those 12 pages until I was ready. Like I said, the third time I went to 120 q's, but I was very confident in all my answers. Hope that helps.

You definitely had the dog bite one right in my opinion because it's scene safety first. As for the patient hand off I never had any questions like that. That's tough. Also, since you have your report of how you did on the diff sections focus on the ones that you were below passing on BOTH tests since that is what is getting you. Last thing to consider is this book: http://www.amazon.com/EMT-Basic-Interactive-Flashcards-Premium-Edition/dp/0738601233/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1344931347&sr=8-11&keywords=EMTb+test

I went through about a third of it and I think it probably helped me out in deciding how to prioritize the steps of patient care for the different scenarios. You may want to purchase it.

This is going to sound ridiculous, but the most valuable thing for me when I was studying/taking the exam itself was to stop thinking. My instructor for the course made us realize that the registry questions aren't designed to have you sitting there, furiously mapping out exactly what would happen in the scenario; they're asked in a way that you can think on a basic level, so that if it was real life you'd immediately know what to do. I noticed that if I found myself second guessing an answer, I just needed to move on. Most likely, the initial instinct was correct.


A few other things:

• If scene safety/BSI is an option, that's most likely the correct answer.
  
  
• If ABCs are an option, that's most likely the correct answer.
  
  
• Study OB. It ends up popping up a LOT, and it's something that takes a lot of people by surprise.
  
  
• Look into getting this book if you haven't already. It's basically pages and pages of practice questions, and there's a CD with more practice exams on it. I went through it by sections of 10 questions; every 10 I would stop and check my answers and look up anything I wasn't familiar with.
  
  
• I also found the app EMT Trainer to be helpful as well, with information presented in cheat sheet format.
  
  
  Practice questions, practice questions, practice questions! The exam is probably more nerve-wracking than any EMS situation I've ever been in. But if you just drill yourself with questions, take a deep breath, and do your best to not overthink it, you'll do great.

The Anatomy/Physiology Coloring book is pretty great especially for self-study: http://www.amazon.com/The-Anatomy-Coloring-Book-Edition/dp/0321832019

The absolute best in anatomy diagrams is Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy, I prefer the flashcards: http://www.amazon.com/Netters-Anatomy-Flash-Cards-Student/dp/0323185959

Fail.

The management of patient's with respiratory/airway issues doesn't begin and end with intubation/surgical airways. In fact it encompasses a pretty wide swath of BLS airway maneuvers, proper BVM ventilation, proper medication administration, use of CPAP, SGAs, proper ventilator use, and the use intubation and crics. The fact that you immediately retorted to my comment by bringing up intubating/cric makes me think you have a relatively narrow view of the management of respiratory issues.

Here is something better to ask instead of how many tubes I've had in the last year, why don't you ask me how many people I have avoiding intubating secondary to proper management. Because, to me, that is the mark of a competent practictioner. Obviously first pass success is equally important, but I'll take a medic who can properly manage a pt and avoid a tube, then one who gets one every time.

And again, the management of cardiac pts doesn't begin and end with STEMIs or cardioversions. Even those are pretty straight forward in terms of treatment/management.

The fact is that there are two main types of patients that EMS has the most effect on, those are respiratory and cardiac. Look at any departments meds or equipment and you'll see that probably 80% of the stuff carried on the box are aimed at these pts. So yes these two subgroups are the bread and butter of EMS and to say otherwise is ignorant.

So you seem to me like you're really green, here are some resources that you may find useful in curving your nervousness in managing these patients:

Manual of Emergency Airway Management by Ron Walls

Life in the Fast Lane

Dr. Smith's EKG Blog

EMCrit

I recommend the My First Human Body Coloring Book.

Nancy Caroline's Emergency Care in the Streets is always a classic of course. Let's read aloud now, together:

>One fine day, Sidney Sinus dispatched Mortimer Messenger with the usual order: "Depolarize the ventricles". Mortimer scampered down the atria without difficulty but arrived at the AV node to find a pile of debris blocking the entrance to the ventricles. "Sorry," said AV Abe, "we're closed for repairs."

Brilliant. Incisive prose. Even the littlest ambulance driver can save lives by following along!

It's kinda big, but I really like my S&W Border Guard knife. http://www.amazon.com/Smith-Wesson-Border-Rescue-SWBG2TS/dp/B0037F1B9E

Not too expensive, good blade and pretty good glass breaker too. It's my go to off duty knife.

Rapid interpretation of EKG's by Dr. Dale Dubin is excellent. Easy read and a great quick reference. Essentially a dummie's guide to EKG. I took a semester long class in EKG in college and am going through it again in paramedic school. This book is what made it click for me.

http://www.amazon.com/Rapid-Interpretation-EKGs-Sixth-Edition/dp/0912912065/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406594316&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=rapid+interptetation+of+ekg

I'd recommend buying ECG workout

Not an app, but it's a great book. Not too expensive, and it covers lead II interpretation very well.

I've got two sites...

The best site to tell you what criteria you need for each rhythm is probably ECGpedia.

The next site I would recommend is really just a compilation of all the best ECG websites on the internet...Life in the Fast Lane ECG references

Also, some may disagree, but I think Rapid Interpretation of ECGs by Dale Dubin is the perfect book to start with.

This is what I use(d) until I lost it. I loved it, works great, good price. Will buy again soon

This is what I had for a recent A&P course, it's a great text - Introduction to the Human Body

There's also the more in-depth version by the same authors - Principles of Anatomy and Physiology

And of course the colouring book is amazing too.

ACE-SAT: https://www.amazon.com/Aeromedical-Certification-Examinations-Self-Assessment-Test/dp/061519124X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468868935&sr=8-1&keywords=ace-sat

Critical Care Transport: https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Transport-American-Orthopaedic-Surgeons/dp/1449642586

Those three books were the majority of my study material going in to (successfully) taking the FP-C exam.

The two pieces of flight medicine you'll need are the flight physiology and the critical care medicine. The flight physiology is pretty straightforward. Gas laws, pressures, altitudes, FAA regulations, and so forth. The critical care medicine is a lot more—you'll need the knowledge of an ICU nurse: lots of drips, lab values, central line pressures, and more.

All stuff well worth knowing.

ADC ADSCOPE-Lite 609 Clinician Stethoscope, 31 inch, Tactical https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002TMPO0I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_zFfsyb995S6SS

I bought this when I first got into class and it does everything I need a basic scope of practice. (Lung, bowel, BP ect) Like everyone is saying don't go overboard for the first if he later wants to hear the minutia of heart tones during a rocket launch he can upgrade later. I recommend this one or that Littman lightweight.

Now that I am on shift I took a look at mine, Zebra F-701

My backup pen is a Parker Jotter, not quite as durable but it did write all of my notes through college like a champ.

This book is pretty helpful, and I like it in particular because it basically does a "physiology pertaining to EKG's for dummies".

And yes, I know that Dubin turned out to be a sex offender and a creep, but the book is still good.

[North American Rescue shears](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E8IIRFU/?coliid=I361Z5I5295YVK&colid=3W2XUR3IPTWWU&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it) I've had these daily and a Raptor for when these need replacing. Super sharp, durable, and won't slip off your fingers. Also an O2 square in the blade which I use more than the scissor. All for $13

If you're ok with just medical theme instead of specifically EMS, I really suggest checking out the book House of God. It's an older book, but it's spectacular. My parents (both RNs) recommended it to me when I was in high school and showing an interest in some sort of medical job. IMHO, a must read for anyone in medicine.

Rapid Interpretation of EKG's

This is what we use in medical school and it is a great, simple resource. Wish I had used it back in my EMT days.

Zebra F-701 all the way, can function as rudimentary strike device for self defense too. Stainless steel is easy to clean as well.

http://www.amazon.com/Rapid-Interpretation-EKGs-Sixth-Edition/dp/0912912065

12 years after academy and I still read mine from time to time.

Also, have confidence. =)

If it seems to be easy enough to be the right answer....it probably is. READ THE QUESTION READ THE QUESTION READ THE QUESTION.

There is a set of flashcards that you can get on amazon. Between that and a site, jblearning.com, you will get exposure to questions that have the same purpose and goal as far as an answer, but with a few words different.

Study triage, study operations, study your vitals ranges for age groups (peds, children, teenagers, infants, etc)

TL;DR: There are sources out there that have questions reworded taken straight from the test.

You didn't mention books but I am going to give you two anyways: You must read House of God by Samuel Shem. It's a really fantastic satirical novel about first year medical students. You should also check our Into the Breach: A Year of Life and Death with EMS. Sort of a wacker book, but still worth a read.

Also check out the movie Mother, Jugs, and Speed

I would recommend that you try to learn as much as you can about anatomy and physiology. I know you wanted Ebook but this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0321832019/ref=s9_top_hm_b23ui_g14_i1 book is really good to learn it. Might look childish but gets the job done. Also check you inbox for a download link. Please don't share it.

Rapid EKG Interpretation. Easy read and it will help you so much. It's got pictures in every page so it's perfect for us slow people.
Rapid Interpretation of EKG's, Sixth Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/0912912065/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_IO7LwbFARMW0Z

I have this stethoscope and love it.

3M Littmann Lightweight II S.E. Stethoscope, Black Tube, 28 inch, 2450 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CCINO0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_6qbzyb937J7ZF

Best one out there for the money:

http://www.amazon.com/Littmann-Lightweight-Stethoscope-Black-L2450/dp/B001CCINO0/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1324239432&sr=8-5

Check this out it's a little better than a bag that you'll have to tie into your belt every day. Either that or wear it around your neck like us barbarians in the US.

Rapid Interpretation of EKG's by Dr. Dale Dubin. The classic, definitive textbook for understanding EKG's. It's amazingly simple, with loads of pictures and easy to understand explanations regarding cardiac issues. It is not the most detailed text around, but it is something that you could read in a weekend and walk away knowing much more than you did previously. Highly recommended to EMT's who want some sort of understanding of how to interpret 12 leads.

Critical Care Transport has a good section on this.
https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Transport-American-Orthopaedic-Surgeons/dp/1449642586

My only advice would be to work the road as a basic to see what it's like. I worked the road for a little while (wish I woulda waited longer) but when you start learning everything in medic school everything seems to come together from what you saw on the read and what you read in class. But definitely

Not sure how to link it differently on mobile but this is a great book. You spend a lot of time on cardiology.

Best stethoscope I've ever bought was a ADC Stethoscope on Amazon for like $19. I've had the expensive stethoscopes before, Littman, all that jazz, but this one does just as good as any of them. Plus it was only $19 so I have no issue bending it and sticking it in my pocket to go. If it gets damage I can just buy another. Here's a link if you want to look it over.

Manual of Emergency Airway Management

I just ordered it so I can't vouch for it yet but it seems to get good reviews.

18 months ago I completed a B to P class through Good Fellowship in West Chester. Between class and clinicals it required most of your time, but worth it in the end. PM me if you want to know more. Read through Dubin's Rapid Interpretation Book it helped immensely.

Personally, I recommend https://www.amazon.com/dp/0321832019/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_HN5FzbFMXJYJZ

I recommend Rapid Interpretation of EKG's 6th Edition by Dale Dublin, MD. I bought in when I was in paramedic school and still use it today.

https://www.amazon.com/Rapid-Interpretation-EKGs-Sixth-Dubin/dp/0912912065


Worth every penny.

I always lost pens before getting this one

It's relatively inexpensive, but it's stainless steel and can be used as a windlass in a improv tourniquet and as a last resort self defense eye ball gouger.

Dubin's Rapid Interpretation of EKGs

Grab this book. It has helped many of the new guys on our department pass it the first time. Most of the guys that don't get it and/or do not actually use it, end up taking the exam at least twice.
