Medical
Do you have a group that’s interested in the medical field or looking to gain practical first-aid skills? We have wilderness first aid and wilderness first responder courses taught by outdoor medical professionals. In these programs you will come home with a certification from Wilderness Medical Associates and have practiced your skills in local communities and outdoor settings. We also have programs like our Introduction to Public Health in the Dominican Republic that go beyond medical skills and dive into politics, environment, social issues, health indicators, and other factors that relate to the health of a society.
