About FlightBridgeED, LLC
FlightBridgeED, LLC is a medical education company that
specializes in providing pre-hospital, critical care, and emergency
medicine education for healthcare professionals of all types.
Initially, we were created out of what several air medical industry
professionals observed as a terrible lack of education for
paramedics wanting to step onto a skid, and into the skies. Of
course, once the conversations expanded it was obvious that the
same lack of education plagued the nurses as well. The self-guided
study and some expensive classes requiring weeks of attendance were
almost all of the choices available to healthcare professionals
interested in critical care education. Further, there were no
classes that prepared the student to take on the role of flight
crew member without extensive, extra on-the-job training costing
thousands of dollars for employers and valuable time for the new
flight crew member. www.flightbridgeed.com
