_Our Wilderness First Responder & Wilderness EMT Recertification course is designed for Wilderness Advanced First Aid, Wilderness First Responder, and Wilderness EMT graduates. Graduates from all courses are encouraged to attend on a yearly basis to maintain and polish their skills. Our Recertification course focuses on major and minor trauma, environmental emergencies, and medical emergencies. Prior to your course you should thoroughly review your original course materials; there is NOT enough time in a Recertification course to cover all the material presented in your original Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness EMT course...yet you are still responsible for knowing it. If you wish a more complete review of the Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness EMT curriculum, consider taking our DLP Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness EMT course. The course includes Wilderness Medicine Training Center Wilderness adult & child CPR and AED certification.

We are the only wilderness medicine provider who offers both standard and hybrid Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness EMT Recertification courses using teaching and learning strategies that inform one another; the result is a choice of format and pedagogy that meets your needs.

Wilderness EMT, Wilderness First Responder, and Wilderness Advanced First Aid graduates may also recertify via our Wilderness First Aid or Wilderness Advanced First Aid course with the successful completion of our on-line Recertification exam.

_Our standard Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness EMT Recertification courses contain lecture, skill labs, simulations, & case study review taught over three days; no advance study is required. Standard Wilderness First Aid courses are best suited for students who learn best with an instructor present to guide and motivate them throughout the course and/or for those students who do not have the time to devote to the pre-course study.

Graduates from other wilderness medicine providers who are signatories of the Wilderness First Responder scope of practice document are welcome to recertify with us if they are currently certified. All Recertification students must bring a copy of their certification with them to their course.

Although we encourage Wilderness Medicine Training Center graduates to recertify with us, we do not require it. We understand that some of our students may occasionally wish to recertify with another company. To facilitate this process we have direct reciprocity with:

• Sierra Rescue 
• Wilderness Medical Associates (WMA)
• Wilderness Medicine Institute of NOLS (WMI)
• Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities (SOLO)
• Remote Medical International (RMI)
• Aerie Backcountry Medicine
• Desert Mountain Medicine (DMM)
• Wilderness Medicine Outfitters (WMO)
• First Lead

 
Wilderness Medicine Training Center graduates wishing to recertify with WMA must take their their 3-day Challenge Course. Wilderness Medicine Training Center graduates wishing to recertify with one of the other listed providers must take their Recertification course, not a Wilderness First Aid course. Wilderness Medicine Training Center graduates should be aware that there are minor differences between each wilderness medicine provider.
