All of our programs are offered in conjunction with the University
of Nebraska School of Medicine and offer required or elective
rotation credits for health professions students. Certification as a
wilderness medical provider (i.e. Wilderness Paramedic, EMT,
etc.) is available for selected programs.
Continuing education (CME & CEU's) are available for most of
our programs. Because this is a medical education expense our
programs may also be tax-deductible for you!
Physicians, residents, medical and all health professions students,
pre-medical and pre-health profession students, paramedics and
emergency medical providers, remote and independent duty
medics, missionaries, expedition members, adventurers, and
many, many others have completed our programs. Participants
are accepted from anywhere in the world.
We offer you a variety of unique medical training programs,
available nowhere else. Note that These are not the typical
wilderness medicine or W-EMT classes offered in the US!
These programs are highly specific in content, methodology, and
progressive teaching techniques developed by us over the last
25-years for use in the most extreme, remote, and difficult
conditions found world wide.
You need only average physical condition, the ability to carry a
20-lb. pack on steep hills, the ability to float in a river using a life
jacket, and a tolerance for dark and mildly confined spaces...
Many of the techniques you will learn in these programs are far
more sophisticated and advanced than those used in the United
States, yet emphasise low tech, resource limited, and improvised
solutions.
These programs are very applicable for everyone needing the
finest training in medicine, rescue, and survival for wilderness,
expedition, and remote situations. Anyone may take any class,
subject to individual approval.
