The nine-day course will take place May 1-9 at Greenway Farm in Hixson. Taught by Wilderness Medical Associates, it provides medical training for outdoor educators, guides, search-and-rescue team members and others who work or play in remote areas.
The curriculum includes the essential principles and skills required to assess and manage medical problems in isolated and extreme environments.
Participants must be at least 16 years old. Those under age 18 will require the written consent or a parent or guardian.
