Instructor Spotlight: Meet Takuya Ota
Tak’s journey to becoming a wilderness medicine instructor was greatly influenced by a job he secured early in his career as a guide in the Swiss Alps. During his many trips taking parties from Japan up the peaks, valleys, and glaciers of Switzerland, Austria, France, and Italy, he observed a few accidents that compelled him to enhance his ability to respond to and manage emergencies in backcountry settings by taking a WMA course. Tak thought, “I want to have the skills to ensure that my friends will not experience the kinds of scenes I witnessed.”
