Certification Exam Prep, EMT Paramedic NREMT, ECG 12-Lead, Medical

I have written EMT questions for the National Registry of EMTs (2/15-17/2002). I authored a chapter of the 2010 UMBC Critical Care Transport text for Jones & Bartlett, as well as working on other EMS projects for AAOS/Jones & Bartlett and Brady/Prentice Hall. As the former chair of the Education Committee of Michigan's EMS Coordination Committee, I helped the State navigate through the changes of the NHTSA National Scope of Practice, Education Standards and current Instructional Guidelines.

I am a Michigan licensed Paramedic (since '92) - EMS Instructor (since'98); a UMBC certified CCTP; and NREMT certified Paramedic with over 17 years of professional education experience in EMS. I am Training Center Faculty for American Heart Association Emergency Cardiovascular Care training courses in first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) and pediatric advanced life support (PALS). I have instructed ECG Technician, 12-lead ECG, PEPP, and BTLS/ITLS/PHTLS trauma courses.

My methods vary to achieve the goal of each individual candidate's needs. They include one-on-one instruction, guided self-study, and directed exercises.

Anatomy

Anatomy at ANY level is the study of organ structure. Students often have a hard time with this subject as they try to force rote memorization of the (often Latin) terminology.

I incorporate little "tricks" to help students remember the structure names - i.e. the thinner/smaller bone that lies in the back of the lower leg is a "Little Lie"... or "FIB" (fibula).

I am a Michigan Licensed EMS-Instructor with a good deal of success preparing students for Board Exams.

Physiology

Physiology at ANY level is the study of body function. Students often have a hard time with this subject as they try to force rote memorization of the processes.

I incorporate little "tricks" to help students remember these processes- making a connection between the "what" and organ does and the "why" its doing it.
