“When your communication is intuitive … that’s what makes EMS an art for me.” This week, our cohosts discuss what makes a good EMT partner and a supportive paramedic mentor. The discussion was inspired by EMT-B Clay Gilman’s recent EMS1 poem submission, “To my medic, from your EMT.”

The conversation also touches on:

• The use of BLS intercepts in place of paramedic intercepts
• How empowering EMTs can provide staffing relief
• Why EMTs should be taught to think above all else
