About this listen

The Paramedic Coach discusses EMS education, NREMT certification, and gives career advice and insight to new EMS providers.

EMT Training and Paramedic Training can be very accelerated and students can get left behind. My goal with this podcast is to help students pass school and the NREMT exams. I believe that anyone out there who wants to serve their community as an EMT or Paramedic should be able to do that.

My aim is to decrease the failure rates of NREMT exams and help students pass the NREMT exam the first time.

Whether you are preparing for EMT/Paramedic School, in EMS classes right now, or studying for your NREMT exams this podcast is built for you.I look forward to seeing your EMS education and NREMT exam success!

Be Great,

Evan, The Paramedic Coach®

  • Shock Types Explained | NREMT Shock Review
    Jan 26 2026

    If you're preparing for the NREMT exam, this complete Shock review breaks down every type of shock tested on the NREMT, including hypovolemic, cardiogenic, obstructive, and distributive shock, with distributive shock explained through septic, anaphylactic, and neurogenic shock, plus clear explanations, real EMS decision-making, and BLS and ALS treatment priorities.

    This is a full Shock chapter taught the right way — not memorization, but how the NREMT expects you to think. Shock is one of the most heavily tested topics in EMT education, and this video gives you everything you need in one complete, updated review.

    Free Shock Study Guide + Free Shock Quiz (with answer key):
    👉 https://theparamediccoach.com/study-guide/shock-guide-for-the-nremt/

    In this video, I walk you step by step through all shock types, including:
    • Pathophysiology
    • Early vs late signs and symptoms
    • How to recognize shock quickly
    • BLS treatment priorities
    • ALS interventions
    • Transport decisions
    • Common NREMT trap answers

    This video uses real EMT and Paramedic clinical thinking, not textbook fluff. You’ll learn how to differentiate shock types fast, what matters most on exam day, and how to avoid the mistakes that cause students to fail shock questions.

    If shock has ever felt confusing, overwhelming, or like everything blends together — this video will finally make it click.

    Why This Shock Review Works

    I’ve taught over 60,000 EMT and Paramedic students since 2020, and shock is consistently one of the most missed topics on the NREMT exam. Students struggle with shock not because they don’t study — but because they don’t understand priorities, patterns, and decision-making.

    This video was built to give you clarity, confidence, and exam-ready thinking in one complete shock review.

  • Starting Paramedic School? Learn These 3 Lessons First
    Dec 22 2025

    If you're preparing to start paramedic school, this in-depth video breaks down the 3 most important lessons every EMT should understand before day one. These are the exact concepts that overwhelm students early in medic school and cause many to struggle unnecessarily. This video is designed to give you a strong head start so you can walk into paramedic school confident and prepared.

    In this complete paramedic school prep lesson, I focus on the foundations of ECG interpretation, including the electrical conduction system of the heart, basic ECG waveforms, and how to approach a 12-lead ECG the right way. If you understand these three lessons early, paramedic school becomes much more manageable.

    Paramedic school is challenging not because the material is impossible, but because many students are expected to understand cardiology concepts before they truly grasp the basics. This video was created specifically for working EMTs who are thinking about medic school or are about to start and want to be ahead of the curve.

    What You’ll Learn in This Paramedic School Prep Video

    • The 3 most important lessons to master before paramedic school
    • How the heart’s electrical conduction system works
    • ECG basics every paramedic student must understand
    • How to identify and understand ECG waves
    • A simple approach to reading a basic 12-lead ECG
    • Why ECG interpretation is so important in medic school
    • Common mistakes paramedic students make early
    • How to set yourself up for success in paramedic school

  • Pass The NREMT Exam With This One Podcast Episode
    Dec 18 2025

    If you're preparing for the NREMT exam, this complete NREMT prep video breaks down all 5 NREMT content domains with a deep focus on patient assessment, the most tested section of the NREMT exam. This 1+ hour NREMT review teaches you how the NREMT actually evaluates EMT students so you can walk into test day confident and prepared.

    Free NREMT Study Guide + Free Quiz (with answer key):
    👉 https://theparamediccoach.com/study-guide/pass-the-nremt-exam/

    In this video, I walk you step by step through scene safety, primary assessment, secondary assessment, DCAP-BTLS, SAMPLE, and OPQRST, using real EMT-level clinical thinking — not memorization. I also use a training simulation mannequin so you can visually see how patient assessments are performed, exactly how the NREMT expects you to think on exam day.

    If the NREMT feels overwhelming, it’s usually because students don’t understand how the exam evaluates decision-making. Once you understand how the NREMT exam actually works and how the computer adaptive test scores you, everything becomes much clearer. This video was built to give you that clarity in one complete review.
