Services who contract with CAMTS for a consultant are not required to apply for accreditation and the consultant’s role does not guarantee any accreditation outcome if the service is preparing for a site visit by CAMTS. Services will sign a contract with a disclaimer in reference to applying for accreditation and that no accreditation outcome is guaranteed. CAMTS does not guarantee the availability of a consultant due to scheduling needs and time constraints. CAMTS Consultants are chosen (as availability permits) from a pool of professional site surveyors and former board members who have a minimum of six years experience in the field of air medical and/or ground interfacility transport. Consultants are responsible for providing the service with a written summary report after completing an onsite visit. Consultants may not serve as a site surveyor for the contracting service nor for a competing service for a period of four years after the consulting visit.
