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: [email protected] Show notes at medicmindset.com

This one was a blast. She is an open book about what life is like as a medic and the listeners are loving her. She bravely entertains Ginger's questions about the unique intimacy shared between EMS partners. She is brave and funny and speaks from an authentic heart.

The Strong, Silent Type

Medic Mindset

10/30/16 • 37 min

The 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. Show notes at medicmindset.com Love, Ginger

I say it with every episode, but this one really does feel like my favorite so far. I couldn't be happier to share this medic with you. She's happy. She's competent. She's real and she willingly lets me wander around in her brain for a bit. Show notes can be found at medicmindset.com Love, Ginger

Overlearning

Medic Mindset

01/05/18 • 15 min

Overlearning is the process of practicing a skill after you have reached competence. Yep... after you are already competent. The benefit of overlearning a skill is that it becomes automated. Think "muscle memory." An automated skill requires less concentration and less working memory and thus frees up your mind to focus on other things when performing in wicked environments.
