Aeromedical Retrieval Medicine for Extreme Altitude

Please select your course in the dropdown menu

The ARMEA course prepares the medical professional for work as a Flight Paramedic, nurse or doctor working on a HEMS unit that retrieves casualties at extreme altitudes. Retrieval medicine takes profound skills to stabilise the critical casualty whilst adding environmental stressors during the medical evacuation. Add to that are the additional stresses found in altitudes above ten thousand feet (3000m).

This online course covers some medical skills required for Flight Paramedics working at high altitudes. It is specifically designed for work on helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft working in resource-poor environments and with prolonged evacuation time.

The ARMEA course teaches altitude and retrieval medicine for the Remote Practitioner.

This course is CAPCE accredited.
