Podcasts about mindset minute

Be a coach, not a critic.

How well do EMS teams manage critically ill pediatric patients—and how do we know? In this episode of the EMS Educator Podcast, hosts Rob Lawrence and Maia Dorsett speak with Mark Cicero, lead author of a landmark study published in Prehospital Emergency Care. The study used simulation to assess EMS performance in pediatric emergencies. From medication dosing errors to missed fundamentals like cap refill checks, Dr. Cicero breaks down what the study revealed across more than 150 simulations in three states. Dr. Dorsett shares how the findings challenged her own assumptions as an educator and led to reflections on curriculum design, quality improvement, and the need for deliberate, high-frequency pediatric practice. They also explore the power of SIM Box—a free, low-tech, high-impact simulation toolkit—and how small, creative learning opportunities can help EMS clinicians gain confidence, accuracy, and readiness for rare but high-stakes pediatric calls. Whether you're a field provider, educator, or medical director, this episode offers practical insights and real tools to help build a system of pediatric care that's proactive, not reactive. Ginger Locke highlights the episode's key points with her "Mindset Minute."

Ignorance over stupidity.

Journal your gratitude.

What if the reason you're feeling off isn't what you think? In this short but powerful episode, I'm sharing a quiet truth that's helping so many midlife women feel better—without quitting their job, changing their relationship, or starting over. If you've been pushing through, keeping it together, and wondering why it still doesn't feel right… this might be the reframe you didn't know you needed.

Gratitude and mental health.

In this episode, a forgotten sticky note leads to a powerful truth about self-trust—and the subtle, everyday ways we abandon ourselves without even realizing it. From silencing your needs to striving for perfection, we unpack what it really means to stay with yourself, especially when it would be easier not to. If you've ever felt like you can't trust yourself to follow through, speak up, or simply be you—this one's for you.  

Be through chasing people.

What if we began asking patients “what happened to you?” instead of “what's wrong with you?” This mindset shift exemplifies the principles behind trauma-informed care. DCFEMS Behavioral Health Coordinator Ronit Reguer once again joins hosts Maia Dorsett, Hilary Gates and Rob Lawrence for a powerful, practical conversation on trauma-informed care.  They discuss how this approach can improve both patient outcomes and provider wellness. Drawing on clinical experiences, EMS education, and real-world applications, you'll hear a deep dive into how trauma affects patient behavior, the importance of recognizing individual agency during care, and how to build trauma-informed principles into EMS training.  Whether you're an EMS educator, clinician, or student, this episode will challenge you to rethink your approach to care—and inspire meaningful change.

Priorities Management.

Put down your cape.

Don't one up them.

How should we best acquire medical knowledge and skills so that we can easily retrieve and effectively use them in the field? Now that we are past the stressful March 31st recert deadline, hosts Maia Dorsett, Hilary Gates and Rob Lawrence delve into the issues surrounding EMS recertification and continuing education. Special guest Ethan Setnik, Chief Technology Officer at Prodigy EMS, offers unique insights into the design of learning from his perspective as a system engineer.  We know that the typical last-minute rush to recertify isn't the most effective approach to learning, so listen and be inspired by evidence-based strategies for better knowledge retention. We discuss effortful retrieval, spaced repetition, and interleaving to enhance learning and improve clinical practice. Ethan shares insights about the ways technology and system design can support continuous competency and self-directed learning, moving beyond simply “checking the box” to fostering a meaningful educational journey for EMS clinicians.
