A Radical Shift – Rethinking Critical Care Education for Flight Providers
In flight medicine, cognitive knowledge isn’t enough. Today, providers can earn critical care certifications without ever managing a ventilator in the field. That’s not just a gap — it’s a liability.
At Beyond the Sirens, we’re calling for a new standard: hands-on training, mentorship, and realistic simulations that mirror the chaos of flight. Certification should prove readiness — not just test memory.
It’s time to raise the bar. Lives depend on it.

A King Without a Crown
True leadership isn’t worn like a badge, it’s earned in the way we show up when no one’s watching. In this piece, we explore the difference between holding a title and holding influence, especially in high-stakes fields like EMS, fire, and critical care. Sometimes, the most respected leader is the one without the crown.
