The Off Shift Podcast by EMSconnect
The Off Shift Podcast by EMSconnect is where first responders continue the conversation after the call.
Hosted by EMS educator Shaun Pitts, each episode brings together paramedics, EMTs, firefighters, physicians, educators, and industry leaders to explore the topics that shape our profession. From clinical medicine and patient care to leadership, mental health, education, career development, and the realities of life in emergency services, we cover the conversations that happen when the radios are quiet.
Whether you’re on your commute, between calls, or finally enjoying some time off, you’ll leave every episode with practical insights, fresh perspectives, and ideas you can take back to your next shift.
Because learning doesn’t stop when the call ends.

Prehospital Care for the Aging Population
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The geriatric population is one of the fastest-growing patient groups EMS providers will encounter, and caring for these individuals requires unique knowledge and skills. Prehospital Care for the Aging Population equips EMS professionals with the tools to recognize, assess, and manage the complex needs of older adults in the prehospital setting.
This course explores age-related physiological changes, common medical and traumatic emergencies in geriatric patients, medication considerations, communication strategies, and the impact of comorbidities. Special emphasis is placed on compassionate, patient-centered care that balances clinical decision-making with dignity and respect.
