EMS EDC stands for Emergency Medical Services Everyday Carry. Many new EMTs are unsure or unaware of what to carry on their first day as new EMTs. Let’s do an EMS Pocket Dump!
I decided to make this fun and went back to my first day cleared as a licensed Paramedic to show you exactly what I was carrying my first day working advanced life support after going from EMT to Paramedic! I also talk about situations where this Paramedic EDC really came in handy!
If you are currently in EMT school or Paramedic college this will give you a heads up to prepare for your clinical and road time. I look forward to you passing your NREMT exam and getting on the road as an EMT!
Let me know in the comments what you carry each day on shift and if this video inspired you to carry something new or replace a piece of equipment.
Be Great!
