Welcome N F P A

In recent months, many strides have been made to ensure quality service in the aeromedical industry. Toward that goal, ASHBFAhMS and NFNA have joined forces with the National Flight Paramedics Association {NFPA} to continue this endeavor.

We welcome NFPA's input to the AeroMedicalJournal and look forward to future joint ventures in aeromedicine.

Currently our program is re-evaluating and rewriting job descriptions and performance evaluation tools for flight nurses, flight para- medics, dispatchers, dispatch supervisors and operations managers.
