Medical Math in EMS

This session targets Medical Math, i.e. Drug Calculations like never before. Special guest speaker Buck Feris is an EMS educator that has a lot of experience helping students who struggle with drug calculations. Several years ago he did some research on the origins of the drug calculation formula and found that it was based on a very simple concept in chemistry called “dimensional analysis.” By teaching the mechanics of dimensional analysis to students Buck has been able to teach them to go beyond the simple memorization of a formula. Some of they key elements of this session are:

Helping to finally end the struggle with drug calculations
How knowing one simple concept will vastly improve your drug calculation skills
The true mechanics behind drug calculations
Discovering “dimensional analysis” and how it simplifies medical math
Modifying one easy formula that will fit all your medical math needs
Going beyond basic memorization to concrete understanding

If you are a student who is struggling with this subject, or a practicing paramedic who wishes to finally master medical math, this is a course you won’t want to miss.
