GENERAL RESOURCES
Note: Resources found on this page are mine and mine alone (or linked to outside agencies). They are not endorsed by MFRI, MIEMSS or NREMT. These are resources that I have found to be helpful for students in my experience as an instructor. Anything on this page is aligned to passing the MIEMSS (Maryland Institute for Emegency Medical Services Systems) Final Practical Exam (videos esp.) and the National Registry Exam. Your course instructor should always be your go-to for questions on skill performance.
