Flight Training

[chocolateshake]

Is there a list of EM programs that offer Flight Training during residency?

 

[crewmaster1]

I'm totally looking for flight training in residency, here are the list of programs I know of (in no special order):

UCSD
Pitt
Med. coll. wisconsin
Indy
Cinci
U of Chicago
Cleveland/metrohealth
U. Michigan
U Mass

Beware that in many programs you can spend a little time on a helicopter observing, but there are some (those above) where you are part of the flight crew and participate in medical decision making and care.

Thanks!!!

What about UW Madison? I know they have MedFlight.. but do you just spend your time observing, as a resident?

Aren't they a brand new program? You may have to ask them what they expect the role of their residents to be.

Madison will have residents flying (I interviewed there for a staff position).

Mayo's residents fly (as crew) too!

UW will REQUIRE residents to fly as crew. That is a huge push for them and you will sign a waiver saying you know the dangers of what you are doing. Take a look at their web site. I will be interviewing there in a few weeks and will report back.
Also add Geisinger to that list- you are crew and fly a good bit. Said to be required but exceptions have been made in the past if absolutely necessary.
