The Habit Loop: How Master EMS Clinicians Build Unconscious Competence Through Habits
Description
Struggling to remember every protocol in high-pressure medical situations? You're not alone—and memorizing everything isn't the answer.
Join us for this game-changing conversation with Jean Francois Couture, co-founder of Parys Medical, as we unpack the science of habit formation for EMS and healthcare providers. Recorded live at FAST 25, Jean breaks down the "habit loop" (cue, routine, reward) and introduces the concept of the "meta-habit"—a habit of habits that transforms how you access critical information during emergencies.
Learn why the best clinicians don't memorize everything but know exactly where to find what they need when seconds count. Discover practical strategies for mental simulation, protocol familiarization, and building muscle memory with your cheat sheets. Jean shares actionable steps including planning your clinical scenarios, scheduling regular practice sessions, and developing unconscious competence through repetition.
Whether you're new to EMS or a seasoned veteran, this episode provides a roadmap for achieving clinical excellence through deliberate practice and smart information management.
