Conventional First Aid and EMT curricula are designed for an urban environment and assume the availability of 911 communications as well as rapid transport to a hospital.

Curriculum Updates

Medicine is dynamic. Not only that, but wilderness medicine is even more so; especially since it’s so new, things are constantly changing. We stay abreast of changes in practices, techniques, and general knowledge, and therefore regularly update our curriculum to meet the current nationally accepted standards and guidelines. Check back often for updates made to our various curricula.
