Medic Mindset

by Ginger Locke

Created in 2016, Medic Mindset is hosted by EMS Educator, Ginger Locke. She is an Associate Professor of EMS Professions at Austin Community College in Austin, Texas. The podcast started as a resource for her paramedic students as they transitioned to the field. She interviews paramedics, EMS medical directors & EMS educators in long, intimate format. She thoughtfully asks her guests to open up about their mindset, routines, mistakes, thought-processes, and lessons hard-learned. Dr. Maia Dorsett is the Medical Director for Medic Mindset and reviews all clinical content for accuracy according to the most current evidence. While clinical topics are in the show, none of the content should be used as clinical operating guidelines for listeners' practices. Interesting in connecting? Ginger is always looking to hear from listeners: ginger@medicmindset.com Show notes at medicmindset.com
