| Doctors working at NETS are given a two day class-room orientation
prior to undertaking any retrieval. For the first few retrievals, a NETS
Consultant or Clinical Fellow accompanies new doctors. During a 3 month
term, a doctor can expect to complete 45 medical retrievals; approximately
half of newborn infants and half of older infants and children. Doctors
working a 6 month rotation can expect to complete 100 retrievals. The 6
month term is preferred. |
| Nurses hired by NETS undergo a 6 week training period during which
they are 'buddied". Training includes class-room training, equipment orientation,
clinical retrieval skills, aviation medicine, clinical coordination and
clinical call conferencing. |
| There is a training
program for all doctors working with NETS. An outline of the weekly
program is shown. |
| For the benefit of NETS' staff and others, we have selected some of
the extensive Powerpoint presentations available at NETS for training purposes:
