    Critical Care & Flight Paramedic Course Overview

    About the Course

    The North American Rescue Critical Care & Flight Paramedic Course is an intensive, three-day, in-person FP-C® and CCP-C® exam preparation course for experienced paramedics seeking advanced education in critical care and transport medicine.

    Hosted by the Eugene Springfield Fire Department in Eugene, Oregon, this course is designed for flight paramedics, critical care paramedics, advanced paramedics, transport clinicians, and other experienced EMS professionals preparing for the International Board of Specialty Certification FP-C® or CCP-C® examinations.

    The course moves beyond memorizing facts and focuses on understanding the why behind critical care medicine. Through instructor-led lessons, clinical case discussions, patient scenarios, and focused certification review, students will strengthen the clinical judgment needed to manage critically ill and injured patients during ground critical care transport and air medical transport.

    Students will learn how to connect physiology, patient assessment findings, laboratory results, monitoring data, and treatment decisions. The course also provides practical exam-preparation strategies to help students identify key information, work through complex certification questions, recognize knowledge gaps, and approach the FP-C® or CCP-C® examination with greater confidence.

    This course is also appropriate for currently certified FP-C® and CCP-C® clinicians seeking advanced continuing education and an approved certification review course for recertification.

    Core Clinical Review Areas

    • Advanced airway management
    • Mechanical ventilation
    • Respiratory emergencies
    • Hemodynamics and shock
    • Cardiovascular care
    • Neurologic emergencies

    • Trauma
    • Critical care pharmacology
    • Laboratory interpretation
    • Diagnostic findings
    • Transport safety

    Course Objectives

    By the end of this course, you will be able to:

    • Differentiate the roles, responsibilities, and clinical priorities of flight and critical care transport paramedics.
    • Apply advanced anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology to critically ill and injured patients.
    • Assess airway risk and select appropriate primary, backup, and rescue airway strategies.
    • Interpret ventilator settings, waveforms, arterial blood gas results, and patient findings.
    • Recognize different forms of shock and select appropriate fluids, blood products, medications, and monitoring strategies.
    • Interpret hemodynamic values to evaluate perfusion, cardiac function, and treatment response.
    • Apply advanced assessment and treatment principles to cardiovascular, respiratory, neurologic, medical, and traumatic emergencies.

    • Review critical care medications, infusions, calculations, indications, contraindications, and safety concerns.
    • Interpret common laboratory values, diagnostic findings, and monitoring trends during critical care transport.
    • Explain how altitude and flight physiology affect the patient, crew, equipment, and transport plan.
    • Develop safe transport plans based on patient condition, anticipated complications, available resources, and the transport environment.
    • Use a structured clinical judgment process to prioritize treatment and reassess patient response.
    • Apply practical test-taking strategies to complex FP-C® and CCP-C® examination questions.
    • Identify personal knowledge gaps and develop a focused certification study plan.
