We had an amazing talk with Chief John Moon, (ret) of Pittsburgh EMS and Freedom House Ambulance, one of the first paramedics in the United States.
If you don’t know the story of Freedom House, you should. Before Seattle, Miami, and yes, even Squad 51, Freedom House was providing bleeding-edge care to the citizens of the Hill and greater Pittsburgh, in a world where they were not regarded as equals in emergency services or healthcare.
If you watch TikTok, and let’s be honest, you all do; you know The EMS Avenger from his short posts on evidence-based medicine and all around being a good egg as a clinician.
Dan got to sit down with him (aka: Jimmy Apple) and got to talk about social media in EMS, likes and dislikes, and the role of social media like TikTok in making clinicians better, not just passing time while posted!
Hilary gates is a real life educator at American University who happened to join EMS and fall in love with it. The program she works with, Prodigy EMS, is at the forefront of EMS education. As we move forward out of our collective nightmare that has been the past two years, Ed and Anna discuss how EMS education can grow from here. Hilary speaks with focus and passion about expanding the role of EMTs and medics moving forward and what we can do as educators and providers in the classroom to take the lessons from the past two years and implement them to make systems better for their patients. #FOAMED #FOAMEMS.
