Flight medics are specialized healthcare professionals who provide emergency medical care during air transport. They are often part of a helicopter or air ambulance crew and are trained to handle critical situations in challenging environments. Their primary role is to stabilize patients and ensure safe transport to medical facilities. These medics typically have backgrounds in emergency medical services (EMS) or paramedicine and may hold certifications in advanced life support. They work closely with pilots and other medical staff to assess patient needs and deliver appropriate care while in flight, often using advanced medical equipment.
