Making the Invisible Visible

Ultrasound is a fast and cost-effective method for detecting serious illnesses or injuries. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly being adopted in emergency nursing, by physician assistants in emergency departments, and by paramedics in prehospital care.

In this one-day course, experienced instructors teach key applications such as thoracic and abdominal ultrasound, as well as ultrasound-guided venipuncture.

The course format is based on the emergency ultrasound courses of DEGUM, but also covers anatomy and the fundamentals of ultrasound imaging. We train using state-of-the-art ultrasound devices: the current system is highly compact and features two different probes. Thanks to the differently shaped transducers, both superficial and deeper anatomical structures can be examined effectively.

Sudden cardiac arrest – one of the leading causes of death!

Our ERC ALS Provider Course teaches all the essential skills to recognize critically ill patients, manage peri-arrest situations, and effectively treat adult cardiac arrest.

Pediatric emergencies often come with a high level of stress for everyone involved and are rarely part of everyday routine.

Our ERC EPALS Provider Course teaches all the essential skills to recognize and treat critically ill children and to manage cardiac arrest safely across all pediatric age groups.

For Strong Teams in Critical Moments

Focus: ALS, Pediatrics, or Trauma

Critical emergencies demand not only medical excellence but also a well-coordinated team. Our team training is designed for interprofessional healthcare teams—whether in ambulances, hospitals, or air rescue services. The focus: communication, role clarity, error prevention, and safe decision-making under pressure.

The DRF Academy brings extensive experience from real-life air rescue operations. We know what makes teams strong—and how to build structures that work even in high-stress situations.

Our training combines modern simulation techniques with targeted feedback and reflection phases. Together, we create a safe learning environment where you can strengthen team processes and prepare for real emergency scenarios.

Team trainings are offered as in-house courses with specialized topics: ALS, Pediatrics, or Trauma—for EMS schools, hospitals, or your emergency service.

Strong Teams Make the Difference

Whether in hospitals or emergency services — trained teams make all the difference.

In our simulation training, we work with teams in situ, focusing not only on medical expertise but especially on human factors.

• How do we communicate effectively as a team?
• How do we make decisions?
• How do we implement them together?

In our high-fidelity training, we explore these questions using cutting-edge technology in familiar environments.

The DRF Academy brings its extensive experience from daily air rescue operations. We know how strong teams are built—and how to create structures that work even under pressure.

In this interactive online course, we give you the optimal preparation for your missions as an emergency doctor in air rescue. Our experienced instructors teach you about topics related to medicine and flight operation and share valuable tips with you for day-to-day missions at an air rescue base.  

Held at the Stiftung Bergwacht foundation’s ultra-modern Centre for Safety and Education (Zentrum für Sicherheit und Ausbildung) in Bad Tölz, we train emergency doctors on complex mission processes and rescue techniques and on how to treat special types of injuries on hoist missions. Participants benefit from our many years of experience in medical emergencies and in operating winches from helicopters.
