I’m passionate about aviation, medicine, and teaching. I enjoyed the opportunity to help educate UND Aviation Students about medical emergencies and provide hands on learning.

Faculty, students from UND medical and aerospace colleges team up to train aviation majors on accident survival

Pilot First Aid Course (PFAC) was a huge success. 26 people received training on aviation related emergencies and stabilizing treatments. Big shout out to KULM airport (D03) for their hospitality! Nicest grass strip in the state!

Prior COVID and your Medical, FAA update:

1) IF hospitalized in the ICU, your AME will have to defer your medical and send in all medical records to the FAA who will issue a regular medical, special issuance, or denial.

2) IF still persistent/residual symptoms the AME has to defer your medical, and FAA will make determination based off records submitted.

3) IF outpatient COVID and full recovery OR non ICU hospitalized and full recovery your AME is able to issue your medical.

As always, consult your AME prior to your medical to discuss any records that may be needed for review to ensure a smooth medical application.

The Wilderness Medicine First Aid conference in August 2020 has been canceled due to COVID19 risk. This conference is primarily hands on learning. We apologize for any inconvenience. We will reschedule the conference in the near future. This was a very difficult decision. We hope you will consider attending our future conference.
