Team composition and educational processes vary between transport programs.

The choice of personnel usually depends on the availability of professionals in the base (sponsoring) facility, the anticipated patient popu­lation, financial support for the program, and other practical considerations.

A transport program might choose a standard team composition or vary the configuration depending on an individual transport request. Teams that transport a uniform population of patients (eg, neonates) are more likely to have a standardized team composition than teams that transport a more heterogeneous patient population, such as pediatric medical, surgical, and cardiac patients or patients with widely variable acuities. Training needs depend on the role of a specific professional group in the care of transported patients, their experience in neonatal-pediatric health care, and their famil­iarity with the transport environment. Guidelines for determining team composition, selecting personnel, and education and training needs are outlined in detail in this and the next chapters.
