NEW! 12 DAY EMT+W HYBRID COURSE
Our courses are not taught strictly out of textbooks. We provide hands-on, medical training that prepares outdoor professionals and enthusiasts for emergency medical situations. We use scenarios and practical exams to give our students the knowledge and confidence to handle a situation when 911 is not an option.
Upon successful completion of our wilderness medicine courses, participants will be certified by Wilderness Medical Associates, the world leader in wilderness medicine. Our certifications are valid for three years and are internationally recognized.
