Thanks, this is stuff I hadn't really thought of, which is why I ask. I don't really know for sure if there are even places where a partnership like this would be valuable, so I'm kind of making this up as I go. Alaska or the desert SW for Indian Health Services seems likely. Is it still called "Indian" health services?

As far as I know, the only things that I would be assisting my wife with would be lining up the patients and doing the initial paperwork. She would be doing the healing. Mostly I'm there to fly the plane. But if something happens that gets to be more than she can handle herself, then I would think that as an EMT I could help stabilize the patient and prepare the patient for transport. But then I suppose it might be kind of hard for me to drive the plane, wouldn't it? She's taken flying lessons, but quit after soloing, so she could help with that. Maybe I should lean on her to continue her flying if we get serious about this.

Basically, any medical training would help us, so that I learn enough terminology to be able to communicate with her. As an RN or PA, I would only know a subset of what she knows, so our total knowledge wouldn't be any greater. But as an EMT, I would know things she doesn't. Does that make sense?

The red cross EMT-basic course has an 8 hour CPR course as a prerequisite. Maybe I should take that first, and discuss it with the instructors. CPR would certainly be useful. Also, the 16 hour wilderness first aid course will be useful to us for camping and flying even if we don't go through with "the plan".
