Medic MindsetIt's TylerIn this episode, Ginger talks to Tyler Christifulli. It's accurate to call him a flight medic, but he's so much more. He's also a podcaster and an EMS Educator. In listening to his FOAMfrat podcast, it's obvious he is a sharp guy but being in the same room with him is a completely different animal. He has charisma for days but what is really mesmerizing about him is how he brings out the best in others.

Teaching at the bedside in the field or in the hospital.Some people have the natural gift of teaching. For others it does not come easily. Teaching is all about connecting with your student, finding out their abilities and weaknesses, and helping build them into stronger clinicians. Teaching is a learned skill that can be molded and honed no matter how good a teacher you are. I sat down with Ginger Locke, Associate Professor of EMS Education at Austin Community College and the producer of the Medic Mindset podcast to see what tips and tricks we can offer the field preceptor.

Medic MindsetThe Strong, Silent TypeThe guest in this episode is a true "student of the game." Listen to the FOAMed (Free Open Access Medical Education) resources he uses. He is stoic, thoughtful, and a man of few words. For the listener, that means each concept he chooses to share drips with intrigue. In particular, the discussion of his second failed intubation is a must-hear. I respect him tremendously for bringing that conversation back to the focus of the patient.

Medic MindsetThe Medic in Pumped-up KicksDon't be intimidated by the length of this one. The best thing about this guest was that he didn't ask me to edit a thing. He tells us about his experience with video laryngoscopy, books recommendations, and about his life living in a cabin in the woods. His dry sense of humor made me wish it was longer than an hour.
