Wilderness Life Support for Medical Professionals

Course Description

The Wilderness Life Support for Medical Professionals, or WLS: MP, was developed by AdventureMed LLC, whom we partner with and provide the course material. Courses are designed to apply pre-existing medical knowledge to the outdoors. This program is appropriate for any medical professional, including but not limited to EMTs, Paramedics, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and  Physicians. Anyone interested in using their medical training in an austere setting is welcome. Training is done in a relaxed basecamp environment utilizing Socratic discussion, around a campfire. We prefer an active exchange of knowledge and didactic information. PowerPoint use is extremely limited, with didactics followed by hands-on practicals utilizing high-fidelity simulation (live standardized patients in realistic moulage).

This course covers a wide range of medical, environmental, and traumatic conditions in an austere setting. From high altitude injuries, envenomation, and heat/cold injuries, to dive medicine, and much more. 


All medical professional courses are eligible for 21.25 ACCME Cat. 1 CME credits and 24.5 ANCC CNE as well as FAWM credit. Upon completing our Wilderness Life Support for Medical Professionals course, students will earn a WLS: MP certification, valid for four years.
