Episode How to Build Procedural Skills - That Actually Stick
Most EMS skills training creates an illusion of competence. You drill a procedure, check a box, and move on. But what does the research actually show about competency and retention?
Dr. Jason Hine (EM physician, SimKit founder) breaks down the actual science of procedural skill acquisition: S-curves, encoding and consolidation, retrieval practice, and why expensive simulation labs often underperform cheap, high-rep lo-fi tools.
Plus: a big announcement about SimKit and The Loud & Clear Fellowship.
