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.)

WMTC Wilderness First Aid workshops are designed to introduce participants to the concepts of medical care in a wilderness setting.

As with all our courses, the majority of time is spent in hands-on skills practice and simulations; lecture is limited to basic anatomy and physiology.

Our WFA courses are accepted by the American Camping Association (ACA) for camp programs that are close to standard EMS assistance and by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) including Philmont Scout Ranch. While the course includes instruction in adult CPR techniques, due to time constraints CPR certification is not included. 
This course may be used to recertify current WAFA, WFR, and WEMT certifications from accepted wilderness medicine providers. To receive certification graduates must register and complete the on-line Review & Recertification exam; there is a $25 fee for the on-line exam.
