Communicable Disease Mitigation Practices

Close physical contact is an inherent part of our courses. We interact with and touch each other when we practice the skills of wilderness medicine such as splinting, patient movement, bleeding control, basic life support and when we practice patient care with scenario-based learning. NOLS Wilderness Medicine has curriculum and practices in place to educate students and to reduce the risk of disease transmission on our courses, but we cannot eliminate it.

Please see our Communicable Disease Mitigation Practices for more information.
