Flight


OSF Saint Francis Medical Center boasts the busiest aeromedical transportation system in the state of Illinois with over 1,400 transports per year.  Our residents attend an annual Ground School to learn the basics of aeromedical transport and have the opportunity to fly during their EMS rotation as interns and can moonlight on the helicopter beginning PGY-2 year after a two-week Life Flight elective.  As a flight physician, you will respond with Life Flight to scene calls for major traumas and assist with transferring critically ill patients to/from outside hospitals. 

For more information, please contact our OSF Life Flight Medical Director, Dr. Brandon Bleess.
