Overview

Mission

The Organizations primary exempt purpose is the education of its members and other professionals including physicians, nurses and paramedics in the air medical transport industry.

What it reported doing in 2024

In keeping with its educational mission, the Organization sponsors an average of three medical director workshops a year for physicians and one clinical care conference for nurses, paramedics and physicians. The Organization provides its members with a textbook, Principles and Direction of Air Medical Transport and an Air Medical Journal for use as a reference for health care providers (physicians, nurses and paramedics) in the air medical transport industry. The workshops are specifically for physicans/medical directors to educate them in air medical transport practices. In addition, there was also an air medical transport symposium (AMPS) that was held in order to foster networking among medical directors.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 75% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
