Degrees In Health Care

Interested in a career in the health care industry, but looking for a place a bit more adventurous than a doctor’s office? The Ocean Corporation offers a medical technician training program that offers vocational training specifically to fulfill a role as a hyperbaric technician, whether in a hospital or offshore. Offshore medics combine diving expertise with health care, creating a unique and exciting full-time, year-round profession.

Picture a medical technician job as as “combat medic” for the diving industry. Offshore diving jobs often isolate the divers involved, so specialists that are trained specifically in the emergency medical help required from underwater situations are in high demand. Medical technicians are the first to be called to any kind of industrial, diving-related accident until the direct communication with a physician is established. This could help treating accidents from other underwater positions beyond divers as well, such as drilling rig workers, barge construction crews and ship crews.

The Ocean Corporation’s trained medical technicians for offshore medical practice for decades. In 1982, Ocean Corporation helped found the National Association of Diver Medical Technicians (NADMT) and supported and housed the national office for six years. Advancements in hyperbaric medicine formed the National Board of Diving and Hyperbaric Medical Technology (NBDHMT).

An offshore medic training program’s prerequisites are:

• Commercial diving certificate, which may be acquired from the Ocean Corporation or any other approved Association of Diving Contractors and Association of Commercial Diver Educators training institution
• Current, valid Emergency Medical Training Certification

If this sounds like the perfect facet of health care for your future career pursuits, what better place to start than at the source? Ocean Corporation’s high standards exceed above and beyond the minimum training requirements for the position. Let Ocean Corporation’s extensive background as an offshore medic training school take your health care career to new heights–and depths!
