Short answer, YES!
  • Do you want to be prepared to respond to an injury or illness when it arises?
  • Are you unsure about how to use the items in your first aid kit, if you even carry a kit?
  • Do you recreate, live, or work in areas where medical assistance is greater than one hour away?
  • Are you a self-motivated learner who is curious about wilderness medicine topics, but does not need a formal classroom environment to learn?
