EMT-W

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. :P

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. :P

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. :lol:
