Adverse Health Effects Related to Shift Work Patterns and Work Schedule Tolerance in Emergency Medical Services Personnel: A Scoping Review.

Paramedicine as a profession is continually evolving in clinical practice, responsibilities, and workload. Changes over time in both population demographics and distribution have altered the demand for, and availability of, prehospital emergency medical services (EMS). These factors may also affect scheduling policies in many EMS organizations.

Comparison of learning outcomes for teaching focused cardiac ultrasound to physicians: A supervised human model course versus an eLearning guided self- directed simulator course.

Purpose: Focused cardiac ultrasound (FCU) training in critical care is restricted by availability of instructors. Supervised training may be substituted by self-directed learning with an ultrasound simulator guided by automated electronic learning, enabling scalability.

Materials And Methods: We prospectively compared learning outcomes in novice critical care physicians after completion of a supervised one-and-a-half-day workshop model with a self-guided course utilizing a simulator over four weeks.
