Our nurses and paramedics have, on average, over 15 years of critical care experience. The foundation of our clinical quality program is close collaboration with our receiving internationally-renowned academic medical centers.

One of the hallmarks of this dedication is the Boston MedFlight support for a Chief Medical Officer, Associate Chief Medical Officer and seven Associate Medical Directors – a level of dedication to clinical excellence very rarely seen in modern critical care transportation.
