Medical Certification: EMT-B/Wilderness EMT
WEMT/MPIC
Date:December 30, 2011
"This class was incredibly difficult however it was %100 worth it. I’d recommend it to anyone who is interested in the outdoors. The knowledge you gain from the course is valuable for anyone. While the difficulty of the course is high, the instructors do an excellent job of preparing you for the NREMT. I passed my exam. The instructors are also very fun and really good people."

Pros: too many to list
"Premier Instructors. Adam, Carrie, Sandy, and Jasmine were highly experienced and very knowledgeable. This course really pushes you physically and mentally. I would suggest reading the book before starting the course just to better prepare yourself. You also get CPR, WFR, and MPIC certs out of the course. Definitely a must if you spend a good amount of time outdoors."

Excellent Class
Date:November 21, 2011
"I highly recommend this course. The teachers are all excelent, they do a great job teaching a lot of information in a short period of time. It would be very wise to read the book before the course. This was not an easy course,very stressful to absorb so much info in three weeks. Again I can't stress enough Read The Book before the class."

Totally worth it!
Date:November 21, 2011
"I took the WEMT course during October and November of 2011 in Leavenworth, WA and absolutely loved it! I had wanted to take it for ages and after doing it I highly recommend it to anyone looking to pursue a career in wilderness or urban medicine. Between the readings, lectures, and hands-on scenarios this course won't let you forget any bit of info, which is great! The instructors were fantastic, the location was beautiful, and the information was beyond what you'd get in any urban EMT course."

Difficult, but worth it.
Date:November 17, 2011
Pros: good group, good food, lots of hands on training
Cons: stressful, buggy cabins, not much action during clinicals at a level iii
"The course was intense, everything you have to know to be an EMT-B, and the wilderness extension, with the MPIC, condensed into four weeks was a lot to learn.
There were a lot of hands-on exercises, and a lot of scenarios. I'm still not sure how I feel about the mass casualty incidents.
It did a very good job preparing me for the NREMT testing.
And the food was good."

"Wow!.....This was an amazing experience. All of our instructors were very solid. Dik/Sirma'am. Adam/Snakechuck. Phoebe/Phoebe and Carrie/Slurpy. You guys were outstanding. My classmates all brought some type of contribution. The stars were aligned or something because we all got along wonderfully. Prince. Parksey. James squared. Crazy Taylor. The one finger tracheotomy. Joeltron. Jan.....Great stories and good friends. And on top of all that was the training. Very intensive. Extreme amounts of blood sweat and tears....(The sweat was very heavy in my case) The curriculum was very strong. Lots of great scenarios and tons of interesting knowledge."

Fantastic Experience!
Date:August 13, 2011
"The W-EMT course is intense, but it is well worth the effort. Having the opportunity to live and breathe emergency medicine for a month really helped solidify my skills and understand the material in a more realistic environment. The instructors were fantastic, organized, and approachable. Overall, an unforgettable learning experience!"

Fantastic Class
Date:August 12, 2011
Pros: excellent intruction, food, location
Cons: too short!
"Probably the most intense yet rewarding four weeks I've ever had. The combination of scenarios along with excellent lectures by the three (phenomenal) instructors helped me learn so much, and overcome my fear of being caught in a bad situation with no idea what to do. Dik, Adam, Phoebe, and Carrie, thanks so much for everything you guys did for us! Much love.
Oh, and the cooking, lodging, and group chemistry was great too."

Great Course!
Date:August 4, 2011
"I previously went through a traditional EMT-B course, and the difference was amazing. This course successfully taught me medical practices in both urban and wilderness settings. Additionally, the quality of the scenarios gave me the confidence to know I will make the correct decision in any given situation."

Really worth it!
Date:July 30, 2011
"The WEMT course was a great experience - tough but instructive and a lot of fun too! The facilities and surroundings were perfect for the purpose and the equipment used in the scenarios was new, modern and appropriate. Furthermore it was always there for you to use for practicing on your own or with the other participants.
The visit to see the local ambulance and EMTs was a nice feature and the shift everybody got to spend at the ER was very interesting and educational.
The contents of the course were massive and there was a lot to read, but a good mix of lectures and practical scenarious made the days varying. There was also a lot of testing, which was a good way to keep everybody learning at the right speed. All the tests were not that easy to pass, but that just made you feel like you really knew something once you did.
What really made the course so good was the instructors who were all very professional, pedagogical and motivating. They were always there to answer any questions and to encourage you to do even better.
I can really recommend this course to anybody who is interested in EMS and the wilderness and who is ready to work hard and have a great time for a month!"

Great experience and education

"This course was truly inspirational. The high caliber and professionalism of the instructors combined with their enthusiasm and genuine love of the medical field was palpable and quite contagious (puns intended). I left the course not only feeling prepared to take the NREMT but also confident that I genuinely learned the material and information they presented. This is directly related their exciting blend of classroom, outdoor and practical application of the techniques they were teaching. I highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to improve their medical skills in backcountry and urban settings."

"RMI's WEMT program was one of the best experiences of my life. From day one I found the EMT-B, Wilderness First Aid, and MPIC curriculum very interesting and exciting, but it was the instructors and students who made the course for me. Engaging students for four weeks of 9-hour class days is no easy task and the instructors maintained an infectious energy and enthusiasm throughout. They fostered an environment of courtesy, respect, learning, and growth unlike anything I have ever experienced."

Incredible Wilderness Learning Experience
Date:July 12, 2011
Pros: terrific instructors, interesting classes, hands-on learning, great facilties, fun scenarios
Cons: grouchy cooks
"I just finished Remote Medical's Wilderness EMT course in Leavenworth Washington. It was an incredible experience. The course is hands-on from the very beginning, allowing the students to gain confidence progressively and apply the book and classroom learning immediately.
The teachers are delightful in that they posses both in-depth knowledge and passion for both the wilderness and EMS. They were generous with their time both in and outside of class, and took a personal interest in the success of the students in the program.
There is a huge mountain of information to learn in one month, and I read and studied some evenings until my brain went numb. When we reached the end of class, I left for home tired but incredibly excited about my future in Wilderness EMS. I've got a thousand great memories and a grip of new life long friends.
Thanks Adam, Dik, Carrie and Pheobe, you've made a lasting impression on me!"

Excellent course

"I would highly recommend the RMI w-emt course to anyone interested in entering into search and rescue/ski patrol etc. If you are only interested in the training for personal use I would just go with a WFR rather than the EMT. It is fast paced, but the instructors are amazing and they are all about helping you to succeed. The extra wilderness/MPIC skills are awesome too."
