“An outstanding course and incredible experience! Field Training Exercises (FTX)
were a highlight and the challenges presented pushed me beyond what I thought I
was capable of. Keith is an outstanding and knowledgeable instructor. He clearly
and succinctly explained materials and helped students form critical thinking skills
with scarce resources and meds. Bruce is also an excellent instructor with
obvious know-how, practical experience and big-picture understanding. Pushed
me consistently and supported me always. Ian was a fantastic instructor and a
huge asset.”
“Learning to improvise is such a helpful skill for physicians. It teaches us to think outside the
box and stretch our creativity to care for patients.”
“Our instructors didn't so much teach us as inform/educate us; meaning that they
were helpful in making a ton of information stick in our brains. And repeating the
encouragement and rebukes we needed to help us learn it well. The exercises
were incredible…I think the simulations exposed & challenged & gave us an
opportunity to fail, but more importantly: to succeed!”
“Dr. Keith’s military, medicine, rescue, and wilderness experience is mind boggling. He
walks the walk with quiet confidence and the real authority that comes from ‘been & done’.”
“My jungle experience was nothing short of amazing…overall this experience
ranks easily in the top 5 of my lifetime – I will remember it always!”
“This was one of the most unique experiences of my life. There was a great balance
between class and field activities. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of and
technicality of jungle/cave rescue. Dr. Keith you are an amazing instructor, doctor, and
person. I am privileged to have been able to learn from you.”
“I feel I learned a lot: very practical information that I will be able to use both in the
hospital and in the wilderness environment. The field work was awesome. The
instruction was great: I really feel privileged to have learned from people such as
Bruce and Keith.”
“Wow…what an unbelievable experience. Now I know more about myself & have more
confidence to push myself further than I have ever gone before.”
“Bruce’s teaching style: gruff, no nonsense…GENUINE and PASSIONATE about
the materials he is teaching.”
“I think the best part of the whole trip was the final cave rescue. It really pushed me to my
physical limits & when I learned that I can crawl through spaces that are one-third my size,
climb impossible boulders…it was the best feeling ever!”
“Leadership is in large part an intangible…the leadership lectures were
ESSENTIAL.”
“I really think this was an excellent course! I was very happy with the amount of hands on
practice we got in such practical and useful areas of medicine. Dr. Keith you are an
excellent doctor, instructor, leader…”
“THANKS for a truly unique, rewarding, incredible experience!”
“This was an incredible experience. It was a great combination of lecture & practice.
Staggering the two was an optimal way to learn! Keith’s teaching was wonderful! Few
people I know are both clinical and classroom teachers of such high quality. He is very
talented.”
“It was a privilege to work with the instructors & guides. I discovered that I could
do things I never imagined I could!”
“Bruce is a most talented, knowledgeable instructor. He drives hard, expects excellence,
and helps students achieve what they never new they were capable of. His wealth of
experience in rescue and medicine is staggering.”
“This was the most exciting & intriguing experience of my life. Completing this
course is one of my most proud accomplishments. The simulated rescues were
thrilling.”
“All of the information that Dr. Keith gave us was also vital and his knowledge of medicine &
wilderness medicine was amazing and there is nothing that I think he doesn’t know!”
“Ian is a very talented instructor. His down to earth, quiet style is fantastic. He has
an amazing amount of practical experience and has the rare gift of being able to
share it, in class, at the trailside, at any time. His military and police experiences are
a real plus for the program.”
“I really think this was one of the best and most interesting experiences I’ve been through.
For someone who has never even been camping before, this was a definite change of
pace…I would like to praise Dr. Keith’s approach to this class. I loved just being thrown into
the midst of everything and being forced to adapt to my surroundings.”
"When I left the scene I realized how many tools were used in patient care and
scene management that you have taught me. Thank you for giving me the tools
and the knowledge to do the job."
"I was very impressed with the amount of time, energy, dedication, passion, and
commitment of the outstanding instructors."
"I know the way I practice medicine from now on will be altered in a good way! I
can't wait to learn more and become a better student!"
"I remember reading the web page about this trip a few months ago, but thought that most
of the experiences were hyped and exaggerated. I could not be more wrong."
"I initially took this class to get some remote medical training; I leave with far more.
When we got back from the final scenario, all our packs had been piled together in
the parking area. I thought that would make a good picture. As I held the camera
up and looked through the viewfinder I realized that when people looked at the this
picture, they would only see a group of dirty, wet backpacks & helmets. They just
wouldn't get it! They wouldn't see what those packs represented, the team work,
the trust, the sweat and the mud and the water; the extreme stress of not wanting
to f*** things up; the elation of doing something right; the satisfaction of pulling a
patient from an area you initially thought impossible; the sensation of being
covered head to toe in mud, soaking wet, bruised and scraped, and being happy
about it. I put the camera down."
