Our presence at these events often involves treating injuries or illnesses and about preventive care, such as hydration stations to prevent heat-related issues, making the event a safer experience for everyone involved.

What is a Set Medic?

Set Medics are first responders specially trained to provide on-site medical care during productions.

They are as crucial to filmmaking as directors and producers but operate in the shadows of the set's infrastructure.

With backgrounds in emergency medical services, these professionals are equipped to handle a range of medical scenarios, from minor injuries to full-blown emergencies. They are the healthcare backbone of any successful shoot, offering quick intervention and ensuring all safety protocols are followed.

Texas Elite Medical's diligent team is comprised of seasoned paramedics and EMTs familiar with the entertainment industry's unique challenges. 

​

Each member of the Texas Elite Medical team boasts an impressive array of certifications and experiences that make them the best at what they do. Our set medics hold certifications in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and Basic Life Support (BLS), ensuring they are prepared for any situation that may arise on set.

 

Furthermore, many have backgrounds in high-pressure emergency rooms or have served as frontline paramedics, bringing invaluable real-world experience to the fast-paced environment of film and TV production. This unique blend of qualifications and experience allows them to not only respond effectively to emergencies but also to anticipate and mitigate potential health and safety risks.

Why Do You Need Set Medics On Your Production?

 

Having a professional set medic on set is not only a legal requirement in most countries, but it also offers several benefits that go beyond compliance. With unpredictable shooting schedules and physically demanding scenes, the risk of accidents and medical emergencies is always present.

​

Having a Set Medic on standby ensures immediate medical care in case of an injury or illness, minimizing downtime and ensuring the safety of your cast and crew. Our expertise in handling medical situations means you can focus on your production without worrying about unforeseen health complications.

What Scenarios Would Require A Set Medic?

 

Any situation that threatens the health or safety of those on set necessitates the immediate attention of a qualified healthcare professional. Common scenarios include:

​

  • Minor injuries: Set medics handle a variety of minor ailments that can occur on set, such as cuts, burns, or sprains.

  • Severe weather conditions: Excessive heat or cold can lead to medical emergencies; Set medics offer preventative care and interventions when necessary. During shoots in hot climates, set medics proactively manage hydration and prevent heat-related illnesses. During shoots in cold climates, set medics monitor for frostbite and hypothermia and offer supplies to help warm cast and crew between takes.

  • Stunts and action scenes: High-risk scenes can lead to injuries; Set medics ensure that actors and stunt performers receive immediate care if needed.

  • Medical conditions: Set medics are prepared to handle chronic or acute conditions that can be exacerbated in a high-stress environment

  • Onset illnesses: Should a cast or crew member suddenly fall ill, set medics are ready to assess and treat the individual promptly.

  • Emergency Scenarios: If there is a medical emergency that can't be treated by our team on-site, we will follow an emergency action plan and coordinate with emergency services to ensure quick access to a hospital for further care.

  • COVID-19 Precautions: In the age of COVID-19, set medics perform temperatures checks, monitor for symptoms among the cast and crew, and enforce social distancing and sanitation protocols.

 

Set medics serve as an on-set liaison between the production team, the individual needing care, and off-site medical facilities, guaranteeing a seamless transition if further medical assistance is required.

Set Medic Rates

 

Understanding the costs associated with set medic services is vital for budgeting any film or TV production. Rates are determined by various factors, including the project scope, the number of shoot days, the complexity of on-set activities, and the level of medical care needed.
