Welcome to the Valor Flight Crew Podcast, hosted by ECHO and brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS and Vertical Valor Magazine.

In this episode, we’re diving into the mindset of the resuscitationist, and what it takes to perform under pressure when every second counts.

This week we are joined by Dr. Garrett Cavaliere as we explore how preparation, teamwork, and self-awareness shape outcomes in high-stress environments like flight medicine.

We’ll talk about managing stress responses, the impact of fatigue, the power of mental rehearsal, and the value of debriefing after critical incidents. If you're in the business of saving lives under pressure, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

Throughout this episode, Dr. Cavaliere references various studies and graphs, so be sure to head over to our YouTube channel to get the full effect of this conversation.

From high-fidelity mannequins to low-cost, high-impact solutions, we explore how simulation is evolving and why it’s critical for preparing crews to perform under pressure.

Jonathan brings a wealth of experience in crafting realistic scenarios that connect with clinicians and improve outcomes in the field.

We’ll talk about the challenges of building effective training programs, the power of creative problem-solving, and why advocacy and buy-in are key to making it all work.
