Clinical Education and Training Programs

Omniflight’s flight crews and clinical teams are prepared to serve patients of all types – among them the adult, geriatric and pediatric population, neonatal, high-risk obstetrical and patients requiring IABP-augmentation.

The aircraft and crews are mobile critical care units that offer advanced airway management support; end tidal CO2 monitoring; advanced hemodynamic and cardiac monitoring and chest tube management and in select markets, chest tube insertion.

Flight crews must partake in rigorous training and education while employed at Omniflight.  The clinical education and training programs for clinicians are offered at one of the company’s three strategically located regional training facilities, either in Atlanta, Georgia; Las Cruces, New Mexico; or Phoenix, Arizona.
