PragMedics Discuss Stressors and Work Performance

Pragmatic Paramedics

This week, we decided to re-release a previous episode from our early days! We chatted with Dr. Steffian who is a distinguished psychologist very well versed in mental health but, more specifically, high-stress situations and candidate selection within the military's special warfare groups. He has published several peer-reviewed articles on the topic, and we ask him the down and dirty about how stress impacts us as EMS and paramedic professionals.

As we all know, stress is something we all confront. However, the question is, are we prepared for it, and what does it take it to manage these situations? George Steffian Ph.D. answers all of these questions during this episode of the Pragmatic Paramedics.

As always, we want to thank our sponsor, Priority 1 Air Rescue and our supporters; Red Clover Coffee, Black Wolf Helicopters, SayAgainOver, and finally Pelican, but also and more importantly to our listeners!
