From Paramedic to Physician

Dr. Brandon Morshedi, a paramedic turned emergency physician and EMS medical director, joins Eric Chase to map a practical path toward EMS 3.0. He explains his driving “why”: improving the systems of care he and his family rely on. The conversation ranges from training paramedics as clinicians and the realistic role of degrees, to on call decision making—when to contact your medical director versus a receiving hospital. Dr. Morshedi outlines priority research areas (resuscitation science, prehospital transfusion, and low acuity treatment in place), federal traction for alternative reimbursement models, and a ten-year horizon for the paramedic practitioner credential.
