When you or a loved one requires medical transport, every detail matters. At Lifesupport Air Medical Services, our unwavering commitment to quality begins with our comprehensive internal training program. This behind-the-scenes preparation ensures that each member of our team—from our proficient and experienced clinical and logistics professionals—upholds the highest standards of safety and care, so you can feel confident choosing us for your medical transport needs.

Why Specialized Training Matters in Air Medical Transport

We only hire clinicians with years of experience in critical care and/or emergency medicine. Our medical team includes doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, and paramedics—professionals who already possess deep expertise in patient care. What we do at Lifesupport is build on that foundation with a comprehensive education in Air Medical Transport Medicine.

We provide each clinician with specialized instruction in the physiology of in-flight care, in-house simulations, and 24/7 clinical support to help them succeed in the unique environment of air transport. 

Core Components of Lifesupport’s Internal Training Program

Our clinical and logistical professionals complete a rigorous, multi-stage training process that includes:

Hands-On Simulation & Mentorship

Online learning is just the beginning. Our in-house clinical leaders oversee live simulations to:

• Ensure real-time response capabilities in flight-like scenarios
• Coach new team members with direct, constructive feedback
• Monitor clinical judgment and hands-on proficiency

‍

A Culture of Continuous Learning and Clinical Excellence

Training doesn’t stop after orientation. Lifesupport supports ongoing education and development through:

• Monthly interactive case studies based on recent missions
  
  
• A robust Quality Assurance Program that identifies opportunities for clinical and logistics improvements
  
  
• Annual, company-wide hands-on training to keep teams sharp
  
  
• 24/7 access to clinical support, so no provider is ever alone in the field
  
  

We also understand that patients aren’t always flying solo. Our training reinforces the importance of caring not only for the individual being transported, but also for their travel companion—who may also need support, reassurance, or a comforting word.

Specialized Equipment to Match the Mission

The air ambulance is equipped with the most up-to-date tools specifically designed for air medical transport, whether we’re transporting a post-op orthopedic patient or someone requiring high-intensity ICU care. Each aircraft is stocked with the tools necessary to manage everything from advanced airway needs to full cardiac arrest—with the mobility and precision required for in-flight operations.
