Welcome to Canadian Wilderness Medical Training |
|
Objective
Our commitment is
to provide high standards and exceptional quality in the delivery of pre-hospital
emergency medical training for those who work or recreate in remote
environments.
Rationale
There are many
areas in Canada
where 911 is not an available option in response to a medical or traumatic
emergency. Weather, remoteness and
limited equipment can potentially delay access to EMS.
This places considerable responsibility on the actions and decision making of
you as a rescuer or first responder. The
need for knowledge and skills beyond the scope of 'standard' first aid is
distinct.
Programs
CWMT offers
modular courses that develop competencies in the recognition and management of
medical or traumatic events in a wilderness environment.
Curriculum
content is in accordance with practice guidelines established by the Wilderness
Medical Society.
In order to find
a program that meets your interests and needs, please peruse the program
section of our site. Our
re-certification and upgrade programs are designed for those who are looking to
maintain or improve existing skills. All
other programs do not require pre-requisites or previous training.
