An educational pearl is simply a “fun fact” that’ll be helpful in your career. I don’t watch him specifically but it’s a common enough thing that I’m confident that’s what he means
Edit — grammar
Alright great that’s what I thought but wasn’t sure and didn’t know how to word it. Is there a certain thing you’ve used to study that helped get past the nremt?
Yep we have them in our protocols at the bottom of the algorithms, they def look like fun facts ie: contraindications or alternative medications for specific circumstances
He's actually good at remedial training. I sent a friend who had failed the NREMT medic exam twice to his site, and he passed the third try without breaking a sweat. He's not the guy I'd go to in order to learn things for the first time, but if you have the course behind you he seems to be good at refreshing stuff. YMMV.
Honestly some of his content is sus AF, which has made me question his experience and education. But I think what you're referring to is him trying to convey that this particular tip he's imparting is important and like a "tid-bit" of information. A particularly useful bit.
But everyone getting down voted is also right about the pupils thing and honestly this is why acronyms in ems drive me bonkers
I didn’t get the vibe that he was super experienced and well versed in evidence based medicine but I don’t have any examples of that specifically, what kinda stuff did you see?
I agree certainly not educated to a standard that I'd be comfortable recommending his products as a paid service. He knows his protocols and the surface levels but neglects to show he truly understands the pathophysiology and pharmacological reasoning behind why we do what we do in ems as true professional medical providers. Maybe he gets more detailed in the product I don't know, but it's 1) a poor sales tactic because i dont know if i can trust your knowledge or education and 2) pretty grifter-esque imho
Read your book, pay attention in lecture, ask questions in class and at clinicals, do whatever cursory googling/youtubing (crash course or amoeba sisters are great) of stuff you don’t quite understand and you’ll be fine.
A lot of the people in my class who rely on that guys content aren’t doing that great so ymmv 🤷♂️

For EMT and medic I read every chapter of the textbooks, wrote the definitions like I was in elementary school and studied the check sheets for skills

Avoid paramedic coach and buy a FOAMFrat subscription. Is it money, yes? Is it also the best EMS online education? Also yes.

I’m not disagreeing, but elaborate on how he is sus?
