The Air Medical Physician Association (AMPA) is the largest professional organization of physicians dedicated to rotor wing (helicopter), fixed wing (airplane) and critical care ground transport. With over 400 members nationally and internationally the Association represents extensive expertise in the field of medical transport. Our members represent many medical specialties including Emergency Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and various Surgical Subspecialties.
AMPA seeks to attract all physicians (attendings, fellows and residents) with an interest in critical care air or ground transport. Through the resources of the Association and our members, we offer opportunities for education, research and networking so that patients may receive the best care possible in the safest transport environment. |
