Mission The Wilderness Medicine Institute's
goal is to provide the highest quality education and information
for the recognition, treatment, and prevention of wilderness
emergencies.
Philosophy Our teaching philosophy is to emphasize
treatment principles and decision making, not the memorization
of lists. Our philosophy centers around the physical
and psychological well being of our students and staff.
We employ scenario-based teaching as a complement to
lecture style instruction. This is why our students
learn so well and feel confident in employing their
newly acquired judgment and skills.
