Medical Training Resources
Although the Wilderness Survival Institute does not offer medical
training courses at this time, we do discuss first aid issues as part of our
course content.
We recommend that people receive some kind of medical training, whether it be
a Wilderness First Aid, Wilderness First Responder, or Wilderness EMT course. It is also important
that CPR training be included.
It is imperative that a person keeps current in their medical training. Like
any other discipline techniques change and evolve. A "medical technique" used
ten years ago is not necessarily the "medical technique" to use today.
The following is a list of resources for medical training.
