Introduction to FlightBridgeED
At FlightBridgeED, our journey began in 2012 when we recognized a chasm that separated the foundational practices of paramedics and nurses from the intricate demands of critical care and we were determined to make a difference. Our mission was clear: to bridge the knowledge gap in critical care transport medicine.
Today, our offerings extend beyond podcasts to comprehensive review courses, textbooks, practice exams, and online self-paced study options. We continue to expand, offering critical care continuing education hours and courses that address the most challenging concepts in the field.
FlightBridgeED is more than just a learning platform; it’s a movement advocating for improved patient outcomes and improving EMS education, mental health, and personal growth. We have even collaborated with educational institutions to shape the future of EMS providers through accredited college coursework.
Our legacy is one of education, advocacy, and excellence. We stand as standard-bearers for critical care transport medicine, inspiring the next generation to innovate and push the boundaries of what’s possible. FlightBridgeED is the backbone of a brighter future for our industry and the patients we serve.
Welcome to FlightBridgeED, where knowledge takes flight and patient care soars to new heights.
Our Pillars
| Elevating Expertise |
|---|
|
We set out to empower healthcare professionals, especially paramedics and nurses, with the advanced certifications required for critical care roles. We understood that these exams were formidable barriers, not only due to the content’s complexity but also the lack of proper preparation and study methods. Our commitment to success led us to develop a systematic approach that equips students with the knowledge and the tools to excel. Today, we’ve proudly helped over 18,000 students reach their educational and career goals, issuing over 110,000 certificates for continuing education and exam preparation. |
Bridging Disparities |
|
Another critical aspect of our journey was addressing the stark differences in healthcare standards between rural and urban settings. We firmly believe that proximity to population centers should not determine the quality of care a person receives. We launched the FlightBridgeED Podcast to tackle this issue, championing the Free Open-Access Medicine Education (FOAMed) movement for our critical care transport medicine niche. By providing free, evidence-based medical content, we aimed to level the playing field of knowledge and improve patient outcomes everywhere. |
Innovation & Recognition |
|
Our dedication to innovation and excellence has garnered recognition within the industry. The FlightBridgeED staff has been honored to have received prestigious awards, including the EMS World Innovation Award for Ventilator Management, the John Jordan Award for Excellence in Transport Medicine Journalism, Academy of Air & Surface Transport Nurses Fellow, National Educator of the Year, and the “Critical Care Transport Excellence” award in Abu Dhabi, UAE, among others. These accolades affirm our commitment to advancing medical education.
