Are the flight and medical crews cross trained?
All LifeFlight personnel – aviation, medical, communications, and administrative work together in a multidisciplinary format to achieve the highest level of care and safety. While each member of the team has a specific competency, cross training is critical, and through air medical resource management training each member knows essential information and has a healthy respect for each other’s roles. The medical crew is considered part of the aviation team and assists the pilot in safety awareness in and around the aircraft. Communications and medical crew assist our pilots in identifying hazards such as other aircraft, wires and debris, to assure the highest standards of flight safety.
