Teaching Wilderness Medicine Basics
Teaching Wilderness Medicine Basics. Wilderness medicine educators don't just teach other experts. We frequently are asked to teach wilderness medicine to outdoor enthusiasts with no prior medical training and relative newcomers to the wilderness. Join us for an engaging session on the best ways to teach wilderness medicine basics to beginners. We'll cover what topics you should teach, how you should teach it, and how to test and reinforce it for outdoor enthusiasts who have limited to no medical knowledge in an interactive and engaging manner.
