Wilderness EMR & Wilderness EMT (WEMR/WEMT)
About WEMR/WEMT Courses
Learn more about our WEMS courses
Learn about upgrading a WFR to WEMR or WEMT
Our Wilderness EMR & EMT course is designed for urban EMRs or EMTs who wish to adapt their skills to a remote care environment as Search & Rescue team members, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members, rural or remote EMS, expedition medics, or trip leaders. Participants must hold a current national registry EMR or EMT certification or state license to receive certification as a WEMR or WEMT.
This course focuses on assessing and treating traumatic, environmental, and medical emergencies in a wilderness expedition or remote EMS environment. 

Licensed EMRs & EMTs can also receive WEMR or WEMT certification by taking our standard WFR course and passing our online WEMR or WEMT exams. WMTC WFR graduates who receive certification as an urban EMR or EMT within one year of their WFR course may upgrade to a WEMR or WEMT after passing our online WMR or WEMT exams.
Certifications Included in WEMR/WEMT Courses
  • Wilderness EMR or Wilderness EMT
  • Adult and Child Wilderness CPR & AED
  • Injectible Epinephrine
​
WMTC WEMS certifications are valid for a maximum of three years and are only valid with current NREMT cert or state license; there is no grace period. To recertify, you must complete a WEMS Recertification course before your certification expires.

Registering for the Online Module only

We recommend taking an entire hybrid course whenever possible. There may, however, be some cases when it makes sense to register for and begin the Online Module before or without registering for the In-person Session: 
  • You'd like to get started on the Online Module and there are not currently any In-person Sessions that fit your schedule.
  • You have time to complete the Online Module now, and may not have time later. 
  • You are interested in the education contained in the Online Module and don't need certification.  
While you may register for the Online Module only now, you will need to register for and complete an In-person Session within one year of registering for the Online Module to receive certification.
