EMT-W

[rcmedic]

what can any of you tell me about the EMT-W module? I see it listed here and I was wondering if any of you have taken it, or if it would be of any use at all.

Currently I am in the SF Bay Area, but I spend a lot of time in Nevada & North Dakota and other middle-of-nowhere places.

thanks everyone!

and yes, I'm still a student. Be nice.

I'm not one to post other forums addresses elsewhere, but there is a lot of good information (as well as EMT-W instructors) here. I find the information very informative.

so EMT-W is the emt who get's to play in the woods and be so far from help that they both die of exposure and starvation before getting rescued.

Wilderness EMS is something I have always wanted to do.

+5 for having already used it. I searched for "EMT-W" (because hey, that's actually what I was wondering about) and an irrelevant topic was the only result. That being said, the first result looked kind of interesting.

Ah... Yeah, I just searched "wilderness." Came up with full page of posts, but only those three that were topics specific to your question. I remember them because I too had a similar question. Anyhow, too bad the guy who was most knowledgeable about WEMT matters got himself banned from the board last year.

SPELL CHECKED: One error corrected. :?

"Summit" was the name, IIRC.

Oh, and thanks for the links. It didn't dawn on me to reverse things in a Google search either. Using "Wilderness EMT" is giving drastically different results than searching for "EMT-W" - which is to be expected. Clearly I have not had enough coffee yet, and the day job sapped most of the available brain cells up.

I'm checking out the schedules now and most of the classes are for dates that are well after my NR test dates, which is a good thing. I intend to pass the NR on the first try and then work for a few months before doing anything else.
