Essential Aspects of Aeromedical Retrieval
Essential Aspects of Aeromedical Retrieval
This course is a totally different postgraduate medical training experience that captures all the elements of current emergency medicine and trauma courses whilst focusing the participant on the unique aspects of prehospital, aeromedical and retrieval medicine.
This course is for doctors, nurses or paramedics either currently working within the aeromedical environment or looking to gain an insight into this unique specialty.
The style of the three day training is one of total immersive learning which will challenge you both physically and mentally. As retrieval emergencies can occur at all hours, the course program schedule similarly spans into all hours and provides realistic prehospital simulation training as well as the latest updates in prehospital emergency medicine and aeromedical intensive care.
The course format includes:
> Short didactic presentations
> Case presentations
> Video/photo analysis of real world clinical cases
> Scenario based sessions including a night time primary response scenario in an outdoors stting
> "Hands-on" exposure to relevant equipment
> Practical sessions based around a dedicated aeromedical fixed wing aircraft
> Procedural skill stations
> Small group discussions.
If you are looking for a course with a point of difference and a challenge for your professional development in critical care and emergency medicine then this course is designed for you. It is tailored for the advanced graduate learner and deliberately deals with controversies and the evidence base for current and future advances in critical care in this challenging environment.
Topics covered may include:
> Introduction to Aeromedical Retrieval Medicine
> The Emergency Medical System
> Transport Modality Choices
> Introduction to Aviation Physiology
> Aviation Physiology - Real World Cases
> Human Factors in Aeromedical Retrieval
> Principles of Interfacility Transportation
> Paediatric Retrieval
> The Bariatric Patient
> The Disturbed Patient
> Preparing the Critically Ill for Transport
> Drugs and Equipment in the Aeromedical Environment

You will receive a course manual that is written by an Australian faculty and serves to demonstrate our commitment to providing evidence based but practical teaching in this exciting field of specialist medicine. We have no assessments in the course because we believe learning is best done in a relaxed, open manner to facilitate free thinking and problem solving.
The first two Essential Aspects of Aeromedical Retrieval Courses have been fully booked. Participants rated the course as an enormous success - "a fabulous program with great teachers, good information and lots of useful take home messages"; "The best CME program I've done in ages." Highlights of the program included "case discussions, primary response scenarios and obstetrics".
The Course is limited to 24 participants, therefore early registration is highly recommended.
