Learn the Skills to Use in Wilderness Emergencies

“Wilderness medicine” is a branch of emergency medicine that deals with the treatment of the sick or injured in situations far away from definitive care. A situation like this could arise up in the mountains, but many of the same medical principles are applied in natural disasters, warzones and rural towns.

In our wilderness-medicine courses, we assist you in learning foundational lifesaving skills with a special focus on situations that could arise on trips out into the woods or to the mountains.

Capacity: 20 people
