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.
