Flight Paramedic |
The flight paramedic is an escort for all patients on Commercial and Charter flights. The combination of the paramedic's pre-hospital experience with the flight nurse's abilities creates a dynamic team that is able to handle virtually every situation encountered in air medical transport. A paramedic must have at least three years experience in an active ALS system to be considered for a position with HI Flying - Air Ambulance International. Building on their experiences in pre-hospital care, paramedics are given additional training to enhance their skill level and enable them to assist the flight nurse in maintaining the hospital-level of care.
