What employers look forFrom the Medical Officer / Yacht Medic guide
Hiring captains want proven emergency experience. Most medics come from ambulance services, emergency departments, intensive care, the military or offshore oil and gas. A UK HCPC paramedic, an NMC registered nurse with emergency or critical care background, or an equivalent registration from Australia, South Africa or the US is the usual baseline. Some yachts want a doctor. A second skill helps: dive medicine, a PADI Divemaster rating, or the ability to cover as a steward or safety officer.
