Wilderness Medicine for Urban Professionals

Are you a medical professional practicing in the urban setting? Are you a volunteer on your local SAR or Mountain Rescue Team or you do like adventuring outdoors? Then this course is for you! Wilderness medicine is very different than hospital practice and urban prehospital EMS. What may apply in a clinic, may not apply in the wilderness. This course is our Wilderness EMT Basic course and is an excellent way to learn the fundamentals of wilderness medicine. Perfect for EMT’s, Paramedics, and RNs.
