Medical Crew

Our nurses and paramedics are required to have years of specialty experience in hospital critical care units. Additionally, all new clinical team members receive between 500 and 800 hours of intensive, full-time orientation on a wide variety of medical and aviation disciplines from altitude physiology to crew resource management.

Our critical care medical teams have an expanded scope of practice that allows all of the initial care in a trauma center hospital emergency department to be delivered directly at the scene.
