## Resource

In Episode 319 of the Medic2Medic Podcast, Steve welcomes back Dr. Jeff Jarvis, a returning guest from the first edition of the podcast, for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation rooted in experience, evidence, and perspective. Jeff is the Chief Medical Officer and System Medical Director for the regional EMS system serving the Fort Worth Fire Department in Fort Worth, Texas. He is board certified in both Emergency Medicine and Emergency Medical Services, and he began his career in EMS in 1984 as a volunteer firefighter in rural East Texas. This episode is packed with nuggets of advice, words of wisdom, and storytelling as Jeff reflects on his path in EMS, from his early days as a volunteer firefighter and paramedic to his current role as a nationally recognized EMS physician, researcher, and medical director. Jeff’s reflections offer a perspective that only comes with time on the street, in education, and in system leadership. This is a conversation about how EMS has evolved, how it should use evidence and data wisely, and why experience and curiosity still matter.
