Medic2Medic Podcast

Medic2Medic is back. After 300 episodes and a three-year pause, the podcast returns to shine a spotlight on the voices and stories that define Emergency Medical Services. Each episode takes you behind the sirens and into the lives of EMS professionals—paramedics, EMTs, educators, leaders, and innovators—who dedicate their careers to saving lives and shaping the future of prehospital care. Whether you’re in the field, connected to EMS, or simply curious about the people who answer the call, Medic2Medic brings you honest conversations, lessons learned, and the human side of emergency medicine. Because in EMS, the stories never retire.
