WMTC Courses

WMTC courses are hands-on, intense, practical, and fun. Course curriculum uses a mechanism of injury/illness perspective that facilitates learning, critical thinking under pressure, and accurate field assessment & treatment. Students learn how to think in a medical emergency, and to utilize the most valuable tool a medical care provider has: their brain. Over 75% of every medical course is hands-on practical skill labs, realistic simulations, after incident debriefs, and case study reviews.

WMTC instructors are some of the finest in the world. They have been carefully selected from a field of high-quality applicants. They then undergo the toughest instructor training program in the industry. Their lessons are backed by their extensive experience in the field as guides, trip leaders, and medical care providers. WMTC instructors are also highly skilled educators, adept at translating their knowledge into information students can understand and use. They ensure students learn the skills they need to make effective medical decisions in a wilderness environment.
