EMS One-Stop

On this episode, co-hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson are joined by Buck Ferris, who discusses post-EMS professions and his role as an organ donation training coordinator. There are many different jobs that providers can transition to once they decide to leave their EMS careers. Ferris talks about the different types of organ donation, defines some nomenclature, discusses training and shares some of his experiences on the job. 

On this episode of the Inside EMS podcast, co-hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson dive into the mailbag to answer a listener question on professionalism. The listener describes his coworkers walking patients to the stretcher, or suggesting they call a ride-sharing service, like Uber, instead of calling for an ambulance. How, the listener asks, should they handle this display of unprofessionalism from their peers?

Cebollero states this is a culture issue. "Vision is where you are going, strategy is how you will get there and culture is the behavior of the organization on the way to reaching the vision." 

Is more in-field supervision needed, or is this a leadership issue? Join the discussion to get the answers to these and other questions.
