G'day everyone,
I was wondering how many programs are currently
regularly /permanently using physicians/medical officers in
their crew configuration? The last survey I could find was back in 1996
by Sweeney Crowther et al. in the Air Medical Journal, 'Mission, Staffing, and
Budget Data of Flight Programs in the US'.
Is it still around the 6-7% mark? Im not looking
for reports of medical directors who fly x1 per month, but on a frequent
basis.
Anecdotal reports are ok, journals are better,
and stats...well... fantastic!
Cheers, that'd be grrreeaat!
