Why Choose WMTC?

"The system WMTC uses is very practical, prescriptive, and works."

"The curriculum and the instructors are of the highest quality. In addition to the practical medical training, I learned a great deal about trust and communication. As a bonus, the course was much more fun than I expected."

"Best courses available. Best handbook made."

"These aren’t abstract scenarios — they’re the kinds of emergencies any of us can encounter in everyday life. Anyone working with children or adults in the outdoors will benefit enormously from this training. I’ve personally faced three life‑threatening situations, and without this level of preparation I would not have been able to step in and save those individuals. This training doesn’t just build confidence; it equips you with the skills that genuinely make the difference between life and death."

"From my perspective, taking a wilderness medicine course from WMTC is one of the most valuable investments you can make in yourself. In the real world, emergencies don't always happen in places where help is immediately available. Beyond the life-saving skills, it gave me the confidence to share that knowledge with others in my workplace, my community, and my team. I know I'll use what I learned in my work and pass it on to the people around me."

"I have already told some friends that I highly recommend taking this course through WMTC. I hear about friends taking WFR courses through other companies that aren’t as thorough and don't take the time to answer the questions my friends are taking the course for. I am very grateful that I took this course through WMTC."

"If you have any concerns about the unknown, WMTC will give you confidence to move forward."

"If you can connect with your group and be vulnerable, WMTC is an insanely educational and enjoyable experience."

"I took this course to better understand what problems can and can’t be addressed in the field, how to prioritize them, learn techniques for improvising treatments with common expedition gear, how to build a good first aid kit based on the group and trip activities, how to remain calm in high-stress situations, and understand the decisions behind evacuations. WMTC didn’t disappoint."

"The biggest takeaway for me is recognizing risk factors in the field and intervening before something happens. This knowledge is what I will use the most after this course."

"It could save my life or someone else’s, especially since I live so far from medical care. WMTC is incredibly thorough, cares about their students, and sets them up for success. I have friends who have taken courses through WMTC and other wilderness medicine providers; They have all said the same thing: that WMTC is the best provide."

"I’ve taken courses from other providers, and WMTC courses are the best. High quality and very knowledgeable instructors who have an incredible breadth and depth of knowledge, and importantly, the ability to share it."

"Good value for money. Very engaging."

"WMTC’s courses are of much higher quality than those of other companies."

"When considering the dangers of the outdoors, I live by the idea of “hoping for the best, preparing for the worst.” I highly recommend WMTC! Their courses are engaging, fun, intense, supportive, empowering, and really, really practical."

"There is a great mix of preventative risk management and emergency response concepts. I appreciate that the course emphasizes concepts that can be applied in various situations vs a single 'right answer.' Anyone who engages regularly in outdoor activities would benefit from a WMTC course."
