Wilderness Medicine CME- Stadtlauringen, Germany

Course Description:

WLS:MP is designed for medical professionals of all levels (MD, EMT, PA, NP, RN, etc) that have an interest in expanding their knowledge of wilderness medicine pathology and enhancing their practical skills in a wilderness environment. WLS:MP courses are designed for all types of outdoor enthusiasts, from the casual day hike to the extended expedition.

Our hybrid format covers materials otherwise taught in lecture format, using an innovative learning platform designed to learn along with the user. Instead of reading PowerPoint slides, students will engage in online modules that give feedback, test understanding, and increase long-term retention. As a result, students will arrive to the in-person portion of the class better prepared, allowing for focus on the application of the material covered.

During this online and 3 day in-person course, students will learn the latest wilderness medicine skills for patient assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and evacuation. Our expert instructors employ a wide scope of teaching methods, balancing online didactic lectures with practical, hands-on skills and scenarios. Emphasis is placed not just on the materials learned, but the critical decision-making skills surrounding effective backcountry medical management.

Upon course completion, students will earn the WLS:MP certification, valid four years, be eligible for up to 54 hours of CME with the Bavarian Medical Association, and up to 24.25 of Fellowship in the Academy of Wilderness Medicine (FAWM) credit.
