Emergency Medical Crew Training

Marine Medical International instructs professional yacht crew in basic and advanced medical skills. Our comprehensive training program is taught by our experienced paramedic instructors and nurses who are fully trained in all aspects of offshore emergency medical treatment.

Marine Medical International's Emergency Medical Training Program consists of integrated training capsules. Classes are constructed from the captain's selection of the topics that apply to his vessel's needs and abilities. Each segment is approximately one (1) hour in duration, but often can be achieved in less time.

USCG approved STCW '95 medical courses: we now offer the 8-Hour Basic First-Aid & CPR, the 21-Hour Ship's Medicine, and the 40-hour Medical Person in Charge courses. Please call for our training schedule.
