Cutting Edge Curriculum that is Practical and Proven
Wilderness Medical Associates International is an organization devoted to the development of remote and practical medicine. We are medical and rescue professionals, researchers, experienced educators, and advocates for healthcare in remote settings and hostile environments. Our cutting edge curriculum is overseen and continually revised by a committee of medical practitioners and has been taught on all seven continents.
“The instructors' depth of knowledge and the depth of research behind the content is incredible. I won't re-certify with anyone else.”
Neil Blake, Wilderness First Responder Student
