Which of the following is NOT a PMRC function?

• A. Medical regulating
• B. Clinical validation
• C. Lift-Bed planning
• D. En-route medical training

Answer: (D)

The essential idea is understanding what PMRC is responsible for in aeromedical operations. PMRC handles regulatory and oversight aspects of in-flight medical care—making sure the right patients are approved for transport, coordinating medical approvals and status (medical regulating), and confirming that the clinical protocols used in flight are valid and up to date (clinical validation). It also covers planning the equipment and patient handling needs for transport, such as how a lift-bed (stretcher) will be used safely during the mission.

En-route medical training, while important for crew readiness, isn’t a PMRC function. Training during the flight is typically handled by education and training programs or the flight crew itself, rather than by PMRC’s regulatory and validation role.
