Free Webinar
Mariner Health at Work
Building a Modern Maritime Medical Program
Wednesday, September 2, 2026
3:00 PM CST • Duration: ~45 minutes of content + Q&A
The Outcome
MOST MARINER MEDICAL PROGRAMS SIMPLY REACT TO MEDICAL EVENTS.
A STRONG MEDICAL PROGRAM PREVENTS THEM. THIS WEBINAR WILL SHOW YOU HOW IT’S DONE.
Health issues don’t wait for convenient timing. What happens after an on-vessel medical event depends entirely on the system you’ve designed around it. This short webinar introduces a practical framework — Select, Prepare, Protect, Respond, Recover, Prevent — for building a mariner medical program that lowers costs and increases health outcomes.
What to Expect from this session
- Why “Medical Incident → Medical Care” is the wrong model and the 8-stage path your program should follow
- The specific points where mariner medical programs break, from hiring through next hitch
- Why generic telehealth fails the moment a provider realizes you’re mid-river
- What real onboard medical capability looks like and why not every event should be handled the same way
- The operational chain one unnecessary offboarding can set off, and what it actually costs
- Where mariner medicine is headed next, and what to put in place now
