How to Become a Flight Paramedic ⎮Tips and Tricks⎮

So it's like 10 years from now with 0 knowlage :(

Is FACIAL HAIR allowed in the EMT/PARAMEDIC industry?

i loved the creighton course!

I went through Creighton’s paramedic program,small world!

If I want to be the pilot in the helicopter do I have to do ground paramedic first before I go to helicopter pilot paramedic?

Is there anyway to avoid the 5 years emt experience to become a Flight Paramedic?

I really like medicine but I can’t help but feel scared thinking that I would be responsible for saving a persons life is that something that goes away when you start working in medicine? And love your videos much love brotha

Current Creighton student trying to become a flight medic!!

Can you please have a nurse you work with do a video on how to become a flight nurse, that’s where i’m headed now!!!!!????? PLS🙏🏼🙏🏼🧎🏽

Seems like you really have to LOVE this job to make it a career . No golden handcuffs

I'm a medical doctor from Ethiopia I want to come to the USA to work as a flight paramedic. what path should I follow to bring my dream into reality?

I was wondering if your partners change with each shift and how many nurses, medics, and pilots are on the whole team.

What are some reliable sites to get my bls, acls, pals, etc.?

Is the FP-C required at all hospital based agency’s or just some agencies and it varies?

What’s the pay difference between ground and flight

what if im in the army as a flight medic? i just joined and i enlisted as a combat medic. i would like to be a flight medic in the army and then get out after 4 years and be a civilian flight medic

Hey Sam am a final year paramedic student and my aim also I wanna be flight parmedic and I really learn more information and ideas
from your video thanks man.

The main concern I have right now is that I'm 33. Am I to old to consider this path? I'm currently a firefighter for the county. I have EMT but we're not dual service (ffs essentially get toned to med calls as a way of establishing the criticality. Every heart or breathing problem will get a fire unit but occasionally less critical calls will get them as well if EMS is thin.) Currently I know I'll have to move to EMS to build that experience and get sent to medic school. IF I move to EMS tomorrow, I'll be at least 40 by the time I'll have a min 5 years experience. Is it even worth pursuing flight medicine at this late stage?

Been following you for years. Thumbs up to the beard.

i'm from Thailand i interested this job.. but i am technician helicopter in Royal Thai armed force. Do you have any helicopter technician jobs? i want to join in your team

So are you a nurse or paramedic. Yeah your a paramedic technically but are u trained at a nurses level

You know the difference between God and a Paramedic?? God doesn't think he's a Paramedic.

EMT for 20yrs almost. Love the profession but the management is what is the problem.

brother in law was a flight para and is now in real estate really having a hard time with ptsd.

My mother was going to be a flight paramedic for our hospitals helicopter and she decided to not go threw with it 1 week later the helicopter crashed and everyone in it died. Rip

Creighton's course is amazing!!!!! Rick is the man!

Is that an OPS-Core SOTR mask you have on in the thumbnail?

Will a service that does 911 and critical care (and BLS IFT)work as the paramedic experience needed to make flight? Or does it need to be a 911 only service?

Is the pay the same as ground units and how do working conditions compare to MOST private and 3rd party 911/IFT services?

Does working at a private IFT service look bad on resumes?

im currently a firefighter and im very interested in this when it says 3-5 years experience does that include a FF/Medic on full time dept?

Interesting that you don't seem to have EM docs on board. At least for the bulk of it it seemed as if the american systems primarily runs without Pre-hosptial EM Docs...
Because in germany we obviously also have paramedics on board of helicopters, with much of what you described also applying to these positions. But the bulk of patient care, especially during the transport is provided by an EM doc with usually a fellowship in CritCare plus their training on a helicopter. The paramedic usually assists on the ground medically as well as during the flight for navigation and communication.
Nontheless it's a long path for all professionals.

Is that a respirator? Or a mic to hook up to the carter box? We’re using traditional N95’s on the aircraft right now and having problems ordering more

Is there an age limit for being hired?

What would be the bachelor degree options?

Hai Everyone !!!
I'm from India .. May I know Which exam I've to attend to do paramedic in America !!

I needed this 8 years ago lol
Good video battle

Small world, I also went to creighton for my medic. I have my 2nd interview in a couple days with a local helicopter service and havent even told my wife, yet this comes up as a recommended.

Im a flight paramedic in the army with my FP-C. Will my army service count towards any civilian time?

I wanted to do it but then I realized I have a crippling fear of heights and probably would've tossed myself out the helicopter because I panicked so much 💀🤣

My dream job!

This is a huge goal of mine. Thanks for the tips!

Are there any Flight Physician Assistants that you know of? I am getting out the Army in a few years and have loads of trauma experience and have treated multiple casualties aboard aircraft. I am looking to get a sweet post army retirement job.

I'm lovin' the beard brother, I started watching your videos during EMT school. You've been very insightful every video and helped a newbie set goals for a Career.

You are smart and professional

Besides the obvious certifications is the hiring process pretty similiar to pilots as well? If doing medical piloting is it required or liked for a pilot to be versed in the medical field as well?

What type of mask is that in the thumbnail

Me with no desire to pursue a career in thr medical field: yes I need to watch this

Pre-corona (2019) I was able to do a “ride-along” with my local air ambulance service in central IL. I would highly recommend reaching out and seeing if your service will let you do the same. Especially if you live near a level-1 trauma center. Perhaps one of the best experiences of my life and all it took was a phone call. Good luck!!
