I laid out a five step plan for successful and fulfilling EMS Expo attendance for EMTs and Paramedics in a series of two articles yesterday. You can check them out starting with the first EMS Expo plan article, here.
Today, as I pack up to leave, I am providing a brief video review here. Make sure you add me to your “people to catch up with” list. I want to meet every one of the MedicCast EMS podcast listeners who are attending the expo in Atlanta.
