Being medically prepared in the backcountry is just as critical as packing in water and GPS technology.
Whether you like to go up the mountain or down the river, get the proper wilderness medical training by taking a Wilderness Medical Associates International (WMAI) certified course. WMAI has been setting the standard in wilderness medicine and rescue training for over thirty years. No certification is more accepted worldwide than WMAI.
If you are looking for the best wilderness medical courses in the region taught by veteran industry professionals, you are in the right place.
Wilderness Medicine differs significantly from standard Red Cross style courses and other programs that are oriented toward the urban environment. Our wilderness courses teach what to do in the event of a medical emergency when help is miles away and calling 911 isn’t an option. We prepare students for emergency situations that involve prolonged patient care, severe environments and improvised equipment.
What is Wilderness Medicine?
A WMAI course will take you well beyond traditional first aid. We teach the procedures and the principles behind them. We want you to know how body systems behave, not just how to memorize signs and symptoms. Once you have taken one of our courses you will never forget what to do; you will understand what needs to be done.
