LifeTeam sponsors a Flight School which in essence, is a "boot camp" for RNs and Paramedics and provides the opportunity to learn more about the air transport industry. The Academy is set in an intense 24-hour operation training environment and allows the students to take the critical care experience back to their communities. The Flight Academy has exceeded all expectations as an excellent educational tool that covers a wide array of air medical topics as well as flight time in both fixed wing and rotor wing aircraft.
