3-Day Wilderness Medicine Course for Medical Professionals (Jan 28 - Feb 01, 2027)

3-Day Wilderness Medicine Course for Medical Professionals is organized by ALPTERRA Family and will be held from Jan 28 - Feb 01, 2027 in Franconia, New Hampshire, United States of America.

Description:
Three-day CME courses for medical professionals that are limited to 8 participants, and customizable courses for individuals and groups of all backgrounds — including one-day options.

What You’ll Do:
Courses include at least 20 scenario-based simulations in addition to dedicated time practicing skills. In every course, participants splint broken bones, dress wounds, reduce dislocations, diagnose and treat medical conditions, and make evacuation decisions — with weather, terrain, and distance from professional care factored into every choice.

You will place tourniquets and debate whether to move someone with a suspected spinal injury when hypothermia is developing. You will weigh the risks and benefits of cervical spine precautions and traction splints. You will make decisions with incomplete information, in the elements, under time pressure.

What participants consistently find is that the scenarios build more than clinical competence. Leadership, communication, triage, and composure under pressure are all stress-tested and sharpened — not as stated learning objectives, but as a natural consequence of working through difficult problems together.

Learning Outcomes:

• Prevention: Read a scene, anticiptate hazards, and act before problems compound.
• Assessment: Conduct a thorough patient survey under pressure, with the tools you have.
• Treatment: Manage wounds, fractures, dislocations, and medical emergencies with the resources available.
• Transport: Package and move a patient safely through technical terrain.
