Founded in 1986, the National Flight Paramedic Association, currently known as the International Association of Flight & Critical Care Paramedics, is the largest independent paramedic association in the world.  Our focus is the professional paramedic and our purpose is to serve as advocates to the profession on an international basis.  IAFCCP members are involved in transporting critical care patients by airplane, helicopter and ground ambulance. 

Our purpose is to maintain an international organization of paramedics that supports and coordinates educational and research activities relating to all flight and critical care paramedics and establish standard levels of training and performance for safe, efficient and quality patient care.
