Applied Anatomy & Physiology in Wilderness Medicine (A&P)
About A&P
Tuition, $290, includes our Wilderness Medicine Handbook, access to the online module, and digital patient notes.
This 75+ hour online course is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to care for themselves and those around them when professional medical assistance is unavailable. Potential students include:
  • People who live remotely
  • ​People who wish to be prepared for a natural disaster — flood, severe storm, earthquake, wildfire, etc. — when the 911 system and hospitals are overwhelmed.
  • High school students looking for additional credits or an applied science course
  • People interested in pursuing a career as a medic, nurse, PA, or physician​
​Students learn the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology behind assessing and treating traumatic, environmental, and medical problems. The course dives deeper into basic medical theory and concepts than our certification courses. It is taught entirely online and at your own pace. Learning tools include multimedia presentations, the Wilderness Medicine Handbook, skill videos, case studies, patient notes, chapter tests, and exams. Internet access is required. Learn more by reviewing some actual topic pages.
This course does not include certification in wilderness medicine. If, after completing this course, you score a minimum of 80% on each of the final exams and are interested in becoming certified, please contact our office; you may be eligible to register for Part 2 of a hybrid WFA, WAFA, or WFR practical session.
