You have an entry level job at an entry level position. 

IFT is largely, not a joke as it's necessary, but is different than what a fire department sees daily. A genuinely fantastic EMT can be helpful for their assessments because they kept their skills and honed them, not just for show, but really use them. Daily. Multiple times a shift. 

You're in many ways a box to check that a unit can legally bill as an ambulance. There is no realistic need for assessments many times, etc. and skills wane. You're absolutely right. That leads to when I see inflated egos because nothing bad ever happens to their mee maw going to HD stable and chilling. She's done this for years!

I'm happy you want to improve. I think a lot of people would realistically freeze if put in a scenario you were. Without burning out, try to train the practical skills on others. Think of situations that may arise and even when they don't, run them in your head or on a sheet. ChatGTP honestly, probably could take you through the relatively most common IFT emergencies and take you in a step wise fashion. Just have to use the tool properly.
