The EMS Shop Talk Podcast is focused on the perspective of the field EMS provider in mind.

As EMS systems nationwide struggle with diminishing reimbursements, reduced employee retention rates, ongoing staffing shortages, challenging wages, and supply-chain backlogs, real people within these operations continue to faithfully and heroically care for patients, navigating these curveballs every shift, day and night, around the clock. This podcast hopes to tell their stories!

I’m Jim Karras, an EMT with 43 years of EMS experience in the field, behind the microphone, at a desk, and in the boardroom, in California and Texas.

Join me as we hear straight talk from the streets and EMS shops by real EMS folks located across America!
