You will study mostly online and complete on-campus intensives. This flexible course addresses delivery processes, critical reflection on aeromedical retrieval practice, and the effects of policy and politics on health care provision, access and individual agency. The Master in Aeromedical Retrieval will analyze the essentials of retrieval from neonatal care to adult care, including obstetrics.
