About Us
Overview
FAM : Fellowship in AeroMedical Sciences. This is a Specialist Training program for Doctors with career goals in Advanced Emergency Medicine, Anaesthesia, Critical care and Trauma care. It is not only aimed at those clinicians directly involved in managing critically unwell and injured patients in the Pre-hospital and Inter-hospital settings using flying machines, but also at those doctors who deal with rapidly changing clinical scenarios within the hospital on a regular basis. By acquiring the skills taught and developed during this course, these doctors, transform into Medical Commandos. After their training, irrespective of their area of work, be it an Emergency Department or an ICU or at a roadside major trauma on the national highway, these FAM Specialists will ease into their zone. With limited resources, will be able to perform under pressure, where the toughest of the tough falter.

ICATT
(International Critical-Care Air Transfer Team)
This organization was founded and headed by Dr. Rahul Singh Sardar and Dr. Shalini Nalwad. It is a highly specialized Air Ambulance service which banks on the quality and depth of its medical expertise in Intensive care. Based in South India, operating out of Bangalore, these promoters of ICATT have over a decade of experience in Critical care and Aviation Medicine in UK. Apart from being actively involved in doing the transfers themselves, they have formed a core group of UK returned Specialists to help them as they expand. Apart from Fixed wing Inter-facility transfers of Critical patients and organs, they have done the first ever HEMS drill in EMCON 2016 at Madurai and are in the process of piloting the first HEMS Service for India. This training program was primarily designed with the help of GHA as a bespoke skill set requirement of ICATT for their new recruits from India to serve in their Fixed wing Air ambulances as well as the roll out of their HEMS program in 2018 as the RAID (Rapid Assessment Intervention and Dispatch) team. Therefore, candidates going through the FAM training will be considered in the selection process for the RAID team in 2018.
