Event Description

Certification is through
the Wilderness Medicine Training Center (WMTC)

The WMTC Wilderness EMT Module has been designed to meet the needs of experienced medical practitioners who are practicing their skills as ski patrollers, SAR team members, expedition medics, etc. Participants must be a licensed EMT (basic, intermediate, or paramedic) with patient care experience. Nurses, physicians, or veterinarians may also attend but will receive a completion card in lieu of certification and may be eligible for CEU. Similar to a WFR, the WEMT Module focuses on assessment and treatment of traumatic, environmental, and medical emergencies in a wilderness environment. The skills taught during our WEMT Module may be applied directly to situations where prolonged EMS transport is unavoidable (e.g.: disaster relief, interface with local SAR units, rural EMS calls, etc.)

This course is a WMTC Distance Learning Project (DLP) course. You will receive WMTC's water-proof handbook, a data DVD, our full-color text book, and access to an on-line test. You must pass the on-line test prior to attending the the practical session. Click here for details
