Acronymology

Acronyms and pneumonics are the bedrock of education training and operational flow in nearly every industry. EMS is no exception.

Acronyms are abundant and functional not only for learning new concepts but integrating skill sets with knowledge threads into high acuity low occurrence (HALO) environments. Look no further than MRSOPA when an EMS provider comes across the need for neonatal resuscitation.

Acronyms coupled with terminology give you the very literal keys to success in any field. Learn them well and use them wisely.
