Wilderness Medicine Courses

The industry standard in wilderness medicine. 

​

The Wilderness First Responder is a comprehensive medical training for outdoor educators, guides, professional search and rescue teams, and others who work and adventure in remote settings. Learn the essential skills, knowledge, and critical thinking required to assess and manage medical problems in low-resource environments for days and weeks if necessary.

​

This course is provided in 5-day Hybrid or fully in-person formats 7 or 8 days in length.

The perfect introduction to wilderness medicine.

​

Wilderness First Aid is the ideal course for outdoor enthusiasts on overnight or short-term wilderness adventures. Students will be able to recognize medical emergencies and will become familiar with basic life-saving skills, patient assessment, and basic field care for common injuries. This course is full of hands-on-practice and clear and simple life-saving protocols.

​

This course is a 2-day in-person immersive experience.

Keeping you current.

​

The Wilderness First Responder Recertification should be completed every 3 years to maintain your certification. Our recertifications are not simply a re-run of your first WFR. We will be intentional to update you on the changes in wilderness medicine and offer you the benefit of the cutting edge protocols at WMAI.  We will be hands-on from start to finish to give you maximum opportunity for questions and refreshing that muscle memory.

​

We offer this course in a Hybrid 2-day format to accommodate the busy lives of our first responders.

Creating space for learning.

​

We LOVE affinity spaces. These courses are designed to provide a unique learning environment where women and AFAB folks can feel comfortable challenging themselves in their learning process with confidence.

​

This year we are offering an affinity WFA, WFR, and WFR recertification. Click to learn more.

Keeping our teams current.

​

We are offering a few courses designed to subsidize Search and Rescue volunteers across the state of Colorado getting life-saving medical training. Many people don't realize that our search and rescue team members are all volunteers with regular jobs. These courses use the public enrollments to directly subsidize local SAR volunteers getting this training for less.

​

We are offering a 5-day Hybrid WFR and a 2-day Hybrid recertification this year. Click for more.
