Medical Direction Program

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Since 2017, we have been sharing it with other companies. We are collaborative and client-focused. You know your company best, and you know what you need. Every client is unique, so we have created a range of possible options. Having access to an insured team of consultants, along with a set of evidence-based policies, procedures, and clinical protocols is one way to prepare for unexpected, urgent or emergent situations.

Odyssey has built a Medical Direction and Symptom Relief program to support first responders, medics and advanced medical team members providing medical care at special events and remote deployments nationally.
