Wilderness Medicine Courses — North Cascades Institute

Medical skills for individuals working or playing in wilderness settings

Every year, the North Cascades Environmental Learning Center hosts a variety of wilderness first aid courses. While the pandemic caused us to curtail and change most of our programming, we worked hard to adapt operations and are now able to host several wilderness medicine courses in Winter 2022. With record numbers of people visiting public lands, being able to run these essential programs is more important than ever.

From 5-day recertification classes to a 26-day Remote Emergency Medical Technician (REMT) course, students receive comprehensive scenario-based training and hands-on experience in an ideal remote setting, while enjoying private lodging, organic meals, and access to nearby winter recreation. 

North Cascades Institute is committed to the safety of our staff, guests and community. Please review our Coronavirus Safety Precautions for the latest information.
