The curricula for these programs have been carefully designed to give you the most important
knowledge and skills in the most efficient manner possible. We have many unique specialized
programs are available, with Continuing Education Credits (CEU's/CME's) available. Certificates, and
where applicable, full certifications are given to those successfully completing the program.
With hard work, extensive self study, and active participation in the course you will have training far in excess of
standard medical providers, and have training in many improvised and medical techniques and skills that are
simply not taught in the United States. These programs will be tax-deductible for many of you!
We can provide complete certification & recertification packages for those unable to access
traditional programs... Every program is fine tuned to meet the needs of the participants. We do not
use canned cookie-cutter programs that fail to meet the needs of many individuals. Our instructional
cadre are true subject matter experts as well as world class teachers, and will alter and adjust
programs as needed to meet the needs of the class and unique training opportunities that often
present themselves in the remote area that we teach & operate in. Because of this, no two programs
are exactly alike - expect surprises!
The majority of our wilderness medicine programs are taught in the untouched triple-canopy rain forest of
Belize (please see our facilities). We also teach in the Western Himalayan Mountains of the Pakistan/China
border, throughout Central America, Europe, and New Zealand. We will present our programs anywhere that
meets your needs.
