Summary:

This is a full DOT Emergency Medical Technician Basic program with a WEMT Upgrade course. The training will satisfy eligibility requirements for the National Registry (NREMT), the State of Michigan and Wilderness Medical Associates (WMA) WEMT certification. Training will take place daily, Monday through Friday, for 12 days. Friday and Saturday will be reserved for ambulance and emergency room clinical hours which are completed during the students time at our facility. Clinical hours are also accomplished after class during the week. This course requires approximately 70 hours of pre-course instruction which is student led. The 12 day EMT + W Hybrid course is not accelerated or easier than the traditional month-long course, and it is not for everyone. This course was developed adhering to, and in line with the same rigorous standards as WMA's 5 Day Wilderness First Responder Course, which has shown itself to be exceptional. Many students desire the ability to progress in the field of wilderness medicine; however, do not have 4 full weeks to devote to an on-site program. This course was designed to be more convenient and overall less expensive for the self-directed learner. Classes will be limited to 12 participants due to the intensity of the program.

Summary:

Developed as a collaborative effort between Wilderness Medical Associates International and Habitat for Humanity to meet the medical needs of international remote program sites. This program has evolved to encompass medical response, risk reduction, and hazard identification in low to middle income countries for North American volunteer and study abroad groups. The design of this course is not to replace a travel medical clinic consultation, but instead to enhance a group’s ability to prepare, mitigate, and respond to medical emergencies while abroad.
