NCOAE has it all; I highly recommend their instructors and their programs. This includes a book of lecture handouts, our case study workbook, SOAP notes, our textbook, Wilderness and Rescue Medicine and The Wilderness Medical Associates International Field Guide. Part two is a five-day, in-person, practical-focused component of the course. This course represents the best application of the available science, balanced by considerable clinical experience and the reality of providing medical care in difficult and dangerous places. This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged. DOES THE WFA COUNT AS A WILDERNES FIRST RESPONDER RECERTIFICATION? We will also look at international medical resources and evacuation and treatment decision-making. The WFA is held around the world throughout the year. As with all of our courses, we emphasize the understanding of body systems and principles of care to best prepare the medical officer to improvise and adapt to the infinite variety of challenges that the open sea can present. We encourage you to look through our website, read our Director's Message, and call or write our office if you have other questions. Our Hybrid Wilderness + EMT (WEMT) training involves both self-study, through an online course and practical training at an NCOAE Campus. Yes. This training includes a foundation of wilderness medicine philosophy, with an emphasis on preventing and identifying medical emergencies, using appropriate technology, and understanding risk management.
