In this episode of In-Service, we sit down with two paramedics at very different stages of their EMS journeys. John Duplantis, with over 30 years of clinical experience and a reputation for calm leadership under pressure, shares his insights on mentorship, professionalism, and preparing the next generation of providers. Logan Durham, a paramedic just beginning his career, brings fresh perspective on the challenges of transitioning from classroom learning to the unpredictable world of patient care.

Together, they explore what it takes to thrive in EMS—from the habits that build long-term excellence, to the emotional weight of tough calls, to bridging the gap between education and real-world practice. Whether you’re a seasoned provider or just starting out, this conversation offers wisdom, humility, and a powerful reminder that EMS is as much about people as it is about protocols.
