Reminders of the dangers we face in the HAA environment are never plenty enough. In just a few seconds, a normal flight can turn to tragedy if the entire team is not on the same page with a shared goal. In this session, we will take an in depth look into a preventable air medical helicopter crash while reviewing the components of CRM/AMRM. The instructor will share his personal story about how CRM/AMRM failures contributed to the crash he was involved in, and steps that everyone can take to improve their crew coordination. This session is designed for clinicians, pilots, and organization administrators.
