Learning made easy.
Great Podcasts. This is an awesome learning tool.
Great content
I couldn't have found this at a better time. Just started paramedic class. Please keep it going.
Awesome
Pharm is the hardest part of medic school for me not because of how much i have to memorize but how much i don’t understand about what im memorizing. This is very helpful. what what be really awesome is some sort of computer program that to go along with a book and a podcast. A drug memorizing tool. A program that would have the ems drugs that go along with each section of the podcast and book, so that while you are learning and understanding the pharmodynamics uses and practical, you are also memorizing indications, contraindications, action etc. Flash cards are great but, for me it all needs to fit together and this podcast is an awesome help. Thanks
