Most excited I've been about learning in years!
Date:January 3, 2012
"The Wilderness First Responder Course I took at WWU with Brent and Phong was top notch! The material was very useful and presented in such a way that it made it very easy to retain. The atmosphere of the class was great it would switch from playful camp games between lectures to very serious lectures almost immediately. The instructors were very knowledgable as well as personable and approachable which made asking questions very easy. Overall it was an excellent way to spend ten days and I would recommend it to anyone who spends any amount of time in the backcountry."

"The WFR recert given by RMI was great. The instructors have a solid command of the information and keep the course moving at a fast pace which allows for more time to focus on scenarios and areas where students have more questions. I would have liked to see more attention given to improvised solutions for backcountry rescue where resources are limited such as how to construct a backboard using your backpack. Overall this is a great course, the instructors are competant and open to any questions and discussions."

Great Practical Training!
Date:April 20, 2011
Pros: engaging and passionate instructors, confidence instilling scenarios, a great jump start to the ems field
"I am thoroughly satisfied and feel I can confidently respond to a wilderness emergency after taking RMI's WFR course. the 2 week course was the perfect amount for me to grasp and apply the major concepts behind first responder medicine. The enthusiasm of the instructors has instilled in me a desire to further my education in the EMS field. I will be pursuing Remote Medical's Wilderness EMT course in the future."

excellent class
Date:March 28, 2011
"The class was excellent. As someone who works in a job where I get to be the first responder whether I have the training or not, I was very happy to gain the concrete skills that the class imparts. The focus of the class is on teaching an assessment method for injuries and illnesses in the backcountry which allows you to distinguish between those issues that can be addressed in a remote setting and those that can't. In addition, the class covers basic treatments of injuries and illnesses and evacuation, triage and incident command methodologies. The greatest benefit of the class is that you are taught how to think and respond in any emergency situation in a remote setting. The instructors definitely succeeded in teaching these skills through the lectures, scenarios and hands-on demonstrations. I would absolutely recommend this class to all outdoor professionals who want to have the basic tools to deal with medical issues in the field."

Amazing Class
Date:January 22, 2011
"This WFR course was so helpful! I took it to qualify for an outdoor education job and now I feel so much more comfortable with leading students and even going on recreational trips. The instructors were so nice and knowledgeable. They listened when we asked for extra help and they had a great balance of lectures and hand-on experience. We practiced assessment and treatment scenarios frequently so when it came time to test, it just came naturally. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who needs it for a job or even just wants to feel safer in the outdoors."

Very comprehensive
Date:July 2, 2010
Pros: multiple scenarios each day
Cons: additional 1-on-1 review and feeback would be good
"I took the WFR course out of personal interest. I climb and mountaineer and take extended backpacking trips where the party can be 2+ days from assistance. I thought it best that I have additional medical training to deal with injuries that can occur in the wilderness. The WFR course offered by Remote Medical certainly fit the bill.
The course is very comprehensive. The instructors incredibly knowledgeable. I never had any doubt the instructors did not know the material. In particular, each of the two instructors came from quite different backgrounds and that provided perspective as well as different teaching styles.
There is a lot of material to learn and you will more likely than not spend some time at home each evening or morning reviewing. Learning all the material is much like drinking from a fire hose: take in as much as you can each day and deal with what you miss later. As daunting as the volume of material can be, performing (usually) two scenarios per day does force you to learn the patient assessment procedure simply by repetition. It is drilled into you and becomes mental muscle memory.
I honestly have nothing negative to say about the course or RMI. They delivered on the product described. Yes, the days are long and for those of us with typical office jobs, you arrive home more exhausted than you would normally. But it means you were active all day and learning."

So much learning!
Date:June 27, 2010
Pros: fun, supersmart instructors, intense
Cons: intense
"This course was fantastic! The instructors were very knowledgeable and experienced, and it was clear the curriculum had been carefully developed to facilitate the maximum amount of learning in 80 hours.
I feel so much more prepared to take care of family, friends, patients, and myself in a remote setting. After taking this course, I have the confidence that I will know what to do if a medical issue or injury occurs in the wilderness.
In addition to being incredibly practical, the course was super fun!"

Great Course
Date:June 25, 2010
"I loved the WFR course I took with Remote Medical. The class was incredibly informative and really fun. The instructors were both experienced in wilderness/remote medicine and were able to use their experience to give advice that can only come from people who have seen it and done it (one had experience with both ski patrol rescue and downhill mountain bike patrol, one was a former army paramedic). The class has a good mix of lectures with hands-on practice (everything from taping ankles to diagnosing patients and giving intramuscular injections). If you're going to take a WFR class, definitely take it with Remote Medical!"

Pros: great instructors, lots of scenarios, good teaching pace
Cons: too much emphasis on equipment
"For those of us who like to play outside, this class is an absolute must. We covered everything from bloody noses and sprained ankles to sucking chest wounds and major head trauma. The class moved at a fast pace, but with enough explanation that we grasped the topics fully. The instructors were fabulous and so were the other people who were taking the class. We did multiple scenarios every day which gave us the chance to perfect our skills and ingrain the steps into our heads. The teaching style was a combination of lecture, hands on learning, reading from a white board and asking questions. We were given enough breaks to let our minds rest and the 8 hour days flew by. My only complaint is that we relied a lot of equipment - blood pressure cuffs, stethoscopes, tension splints, oxygen tanks, etc. - that many of us will never have in the field. I think it is good that we know how these things work, but I would have liked to practice more without them. Nevertheless, I was a little sad when the class ended because I was having so much fun. I would definitely recommend this class, it even made me want to keep learning more."

Great Class!

Pros: very professional, effective teaching methods
"I recently took the WFR course through RMI, and I HIGHLY recommend it! The instructors were incredibly knowledgable, very professional (but fun!), and presented the material clearly and in a manner that made it easy to digest. There was a lot of info covered, but doing continuous scenarios helped cement the basics and allowed us to see a vast array of possible injuries/illnesses. I really can't say enough good things about the instructors or my interactions with RMI in general. I'm looking foward to taking my next course!"
