Medical Certifications
Angel MedFlight is committed to providing high-quality patient care. Our Critical Care Clinicians are leaders in the air ambulance field, holding advanced certifications for in-flight patient care. The Certified Flight Registered Nurse (CFRN) and Flight Paramedic – Certified (FP-C) designations exceed industry standards and ensure our team is well trained and prepared to transport even the most critical patients.
Certified Flight Registered Nurse (CFRN)
A registered nurse who is certified for in-flight care must pass a specialized exam that focuses on medical information pertaining to air transport. Once certified, a nurse has the capacity to focus on unique needs of in-flight patients and render appropriate care.
Flight Paramedic – Certified (FP-C)
FP-C is considered the highest level of academic achievement that a paramedic can obtain. The certification signifies a master-level capability within critical care medicine. Being the most difficult certification a paramedic can accomplish, there are only a few thousand paramedics who hold it.
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
This certification includes a set of clinical interventions for emergency treatment of cardiac arrest, stroke, or other life-threatening conditions. It requires not only knowledge of the interventions but the ability to use them.
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
When an infant or child is suffering from a critical illness, the PALS certification helps medical staff develop the skills and knowledge needed to stabilize the patient. Whether they are suffering from issues with blood flow, breathing, heart, or other ailments, PALS is designed to teach medical staff the best way to care for patients during a medical jet flight.
Basic Life Support (BLS)
More than just learning how to perform CPR on infants, children, and adults, the Basic Life Support certification goes even further. As part of the certification, medical staff stay up to date in the use of defibrillators, as well as preventative techniques to avoid the spread of pathogens, virus, or bacteria.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Every member of our medical team is required to hold and renew this certification throughout their employment.
