AI for EMT / Paramedic
On an 8-call shift, PCR narrative writing alone consumes 80–160 minutes — 10–20 minutes per call of clinical recall and professional writing performed after the physical and emotional demands of the call itself. These guides show you how to draft ePCR narratives from de-identified field notes, look up protocols mid-call, and handle the documentation backlog that keeps you at the station long after your shift should have ended.

Draft a Patient Refusal (AMA) Narrative
A professionally worded patient refusal narrative that documents informed consent, decision-making capacity, risks explained, and advice given — the elements that protect you and your agency legally.
Write a professional EMS patient refusal (AMA) narrative. Situation: [patient age/sex, chief complaint, clinical findings]. The patient refused transport after being informed of: [risks you explained]. Patient demonstrated [decision-making capacity indicators]. Write in objective, clinical language appropriate for a legal document.
Tip: Include the specific risks you explained and the capacity indicators you observed — the more clinical detail you provide, the more legally defensible the narrative. Always review and customize to your specific call before entering into the ePCR; the AI doesn't know what actually happened on scene.
Build Your CE Recertification Plan
A personalized month-by-month CE completion plan that maps your required 60 credits across your 2-year recertification window, organized by NCCP component.
I'm a nationally registered paramedic. My recertification date is [date]. I currently have [X] CE credits completed. I need 60 total: 30 national NCCP credits, 15 local/state credits, 15 individual credits. Build me a month-by-month plan to complete all 60 credits before my deadline, with suggested topic areas for each component and free resource options.
Tip: Include your recertification date and credits already completed — the plan is most useful when it knows exactly how much time and how many credits you have left. Update the prompt as you finish credits to rebalance the remaining plan.
Simulate a High-Stakes Call for Practice
An interactive clinical scenario where the AI plays the patient, gives you vitals and history, and gives you feedback on your assessment and treatment decisions.
Simulate a paramedic clinical scenario. You are the patient and dispatch. Give me a dispatch notification, then present with a chief complaint and initial vitals. I'll assess and treat you. After each action I take, update the patient's condition and give me new vitals. When the scenario ends, give me feedback on my clinical decision-making. Start now.
Tip: Be specific with your actions — "I establish IV access with 18g in the right AC and run a 1000mL NS bolus" gets more useful feedback than "I start an IV." Use this between calls during a slow shift or for NREMT recertification prep.
Look Up Drug Dosing and Protocol Details
A clear answer to a clinical question — drug dosing, mechanism of action, contraindications, or protocol guidance — explained in plain language.
I'm an EMT/paramedic. What is the [drug name] dose for [indication] in an adult patient per ACLS/standard EMS guidelines? Include contraindications and any important notes. I'll verify against my local protocols.
Tip: Always cross-check against your agency's actual protocols — use this as a reference starting point, not a definitive order. For pediatric dosing, include the patient's weight in kilograms: "22kg pediatric patient, dose for [drug]?"
