Ever since Brainscape dropped our enormously successful NREMT Paramedic and EMT flashcard collections, y’all have been clamoring for practice tests. And we get it! When it comes to studying for the NREMT certification exams, practice questions are more coveted than the last charger in a room full of dying phones.

Why? Because when you have a career-dependent exam barrelling towards you like that booby-trap boulder in Indiana Jones, nothing quells the anxiety quite as much as answering practice questions. It prepares you for what’s to come, allows you to practice your knowledge, and highlights concepts you need to work on.

If you agree, then you’re going to LOVE our NREMT Paramedic prep videos, which we’ve turned into an accompanying EMS study podcast. Essentially, this EMS podcast (and YouTube video playlist) drills you on the most important concepts you need to know to crush the paramedic certification exam

Brainscape's paramedic exam prep video playlist
Brainscape has just unleashed a collection of seven NREMT paramedic prep videos and podcasts, which will help you practice your content knowledge for the NREMT exam.

All of the practice questions shown in our Paramedic prep videos are drawn from the official National Registry Paramedic test outline, so working through them is invaluable exam practice.

For example, in our first episode on airway, respiration, and ventilation, we ask:

0:21: What are the six airway structures of the upper airway

0:49: What is the parietal pleura?

3:36: What four steps are required for the jaw thrust maneuver?

6:31: What is angioedema?

In our other EMS YouTube podcast episodes, we tackle a full suite of high-yield NREMT Paramedic topics from trauma, emergency pharmacology, cardiology and resuscitation to EMS operations, special populations, and medical emergencies and diseases.

The questions here account for a rough 10% of the content covered in our certified NREMT Paramedic and EMT flashcards, so our Paramedic prep videos and podcast are the perfect study tool to use when you can’t work through your flashcards: like when you’re driving, cooking, cleaning, or otherwise occupied.

(And if you haven’t yet discovered our certified flashcards for these emergency medical subjects, our videos and podcasts will give you a sneak peek at what to expect!) 

So, there you have it: an EMS YouTube podcast to help you rise to the challenge of the NREMT certification exam and emergency medicine in general!

Flashcards to help you study for your NREMT exams twice as fast

NREMT Brainscape's Paramedic Flashcards Dashboard (Web)
Brainscape's web dashboard for our certified Paramedic flashcards, which cover everything you need to know in each of the 7 major NREMT Paramedic subject areas.

As explained, the NREMT practice questions covered in our new EMS study podcast and YouTube series are based on the same content covered in Brainscape’s certified NREMT Paramedic and EMT flashcards. 

These two collections condense the entire NREMT-P and NREMT-EMT test plans (respectively) into digestible digital flashcards that you can study anytime, anywhere, and on any device; even offline, if you download them beforehand.

Brainscape has broken down the entire NREMT-P curriculum into seven core classes, from (1) Airway, Respiration, and Ventilation and (2) Cardiology and Resuscitation to (5) EMS Operations and (6) Special Populations, and more. Within each of these classes is a collection of flashcard decks, neatly organized by topic.

The real secret sauce behind the power of these flashcards is that they leverage several cognitive science tactics that are proven to help you learn so much faster than you can with traditional study methods like reading and re-reading textbooks, highlighting passages, and making notes.

For starters, everything you need to know for the theory exam is already captured in these complete collections of certified flashcards, saving you the time of making any study assets yourself.

Secondly, this content is delivered to your brain via a spaced repetition algorithm that drills you on your weaknesses, while saving you time on the concepts you already know well. What this does is accelerate the learning pace uniquely customized to YOUR existing level of knowledge.

Oh, and when you sign up for the NREMT-P flashcards, we'll email you a free full-length NREMT-P practice test, which will help you prepare even more before test day.

(We also have an entire library of paramedic study guides packed with excellent advice, like this one: ‘How to pass your paramedic training & the NREMT-P exam’.)

In short, Brainscape’s digital flashcards provide the fastest, easiest system for studying and remembering the overwhelming firehose of information leveled at you in class.

And because they’ve proven so popular with our paramedic students, we decided to create the additional study resources of our Paramedic prep videos and EMS study podcast to help you keep up your learning, even when you can’t study your flashcards, like when you’re driving, cooking, doing housework, or going for a run.

Brainscape’s web and mobile app breaks knowledge down into logical bite-sized question-and-answer pairs, which compel users to engage active recall and metacognition to learn, while the spaced repetition of flashcards ensures more efficient learning.

Armed with Brainscape’s certified NREMT-P or EMT flashcards and paramedic YouTube podcast, you’ll have the comprehensive toolset you need to master the necessary content as fast and painlessly as humanly possible!
