Austere Advanced First Aid is a comprehensive medical training designed for remote professionals or wilderness leaders who venture into remote and challenging environments.
Austere Medicine differs significantly from standard first aid courses and other training that is oriented toward urban environments. This course teaches how to manage medical emergencies when hospitals and rescue services may not be available for an extended time period. We prepare students for emergency situations that involve prolonged patient care, severe environments, and improvised equipment.
