Flight Paramedic
A Flight Paramedic is a specialized medical professional who provides emergency care to patients during air transport. They work on helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft, often responding to critical situations in remote or hard-to-reach areas. Their role involves assessing patients, administering medications, and performing advanced medical procedures while ensuring safety during flight.
Flight Paramedics typically have extensive training in emergency medicine and may hold certifications such as National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT). They collaborate closely with pilots and other medical personnel to stabilize patients and facilitate their transfer to hospitals for further treatment.
