Were have we been? Well, the truth is, we've been incredibly busy working on some really exciting projects.

If you're interested in joining the founding members cohort of  the Paramedic Confidence Builder Course reach out to me at [email protected] before August 15th.

We launched a research project diving deep into understanding exactly what newer paramedics struggle with as they make that transition from school into the real world of EMS.

We all remember that feeling - you graduate paramedic school, you pass your registry, you get your first job, and then... reality hits. The textbook scenarios suddenly become real patients with real families, real emergencies, and real consequences and it turns out none of those patients read the textbook. There's this gap between what you learned in class and what you need to know to be truly confident and effective on the streets.

We've been talking to new paramedics, experienced providers, educators, and EMS leaders to really understand where those gaps are. What are the specific challenges? What makes the difference between a new paramedic who struggles and one who thrives? This research has been fascinating, and it's going to inform not just the educational episodes we create going forward, but it's also led us to our next project.

This is what we're most excited about - we've developed what we're calling right now the Paramedic Confidence Builder Course.

This isn't just another continuing education program. This isn’t just a set of pre-recorded lectures. This is about taking everything we've learned from our research and creating a comprehensive program to help bridge that gap between school and street confidence.

I'm talking about mentorship, coaching, practical scenarios, decision-making frameworks, and most importantly - building the kind of unshakeable confidence that lets you walk into any call knowing you've got the tools and mindset to handle whatever comes your way.

We've got a fantastic group of paramedics signed up for our founding members cohort, and we're about to launch in one week. If this sounds like something that might be a good fit for you, we do have a very short window left and only a few spots remaining in this founding cohort, but f you're interested, send me an email before August 15th at [email protected] and we can chat about whether the course might be right for you.

The third project we've been working on is the ability to get continuing education credits for listening to our episodes.

We're currently beta testing this system, and I'm optimistic that we'll have it ready to launch by the end of the year. 

So that's what we've been up to. 

The good news is we're back on track. We hope to have our next regular episode released next week, so tune in for some more of that high-level continuing education you've come to expect from us here at Loud and Clear.

Thank you again for being such an incredible community. Your support, your feedback, your engagement - it all matters. It's what drives us to keep pushing forward and finding new ways to serve you better.

Until next time, stay safe out there, keep learning, and remember - every call, no matter how big or small, is an opportunity to make a difference.
